Training in effective writing and communication

Welcome to Working with Words! This is our training site dedicated to supporting those who take our courses in effective writing. Here you will find a host of resources, that will help your write both creatively and productively.

You can learn what courses are currently available and where they are being taught. You can also download and read hosts of free material across a range of topics. You can buy entire training manuals or individual modules from our bookshop (plus a range of third-party books that will soon become available); or you can subscribe to and access our member’s lounge where you are free to download not only all training modules but also all updates as well as ancillary material such as classroom presentations, exercises and ancillary materials – all you need for a learning environment.

There are also links to Mike’s blogs on The Creative Genie – our main website at www.thecreativegenie.com.au.

This is not a site that will teach you to write a novel or a Hollywood blockbuster (although you may find plenty of useful tips here), Mike’s courses in effective writing focus on writing for business or for academe.

Dale Carnegie first taught us “how to win friends and influence people”. At heart of this philosophy is the power of effective communication. Being able to communicate will improve your self-esteem and help you move ahead in your life and in your work.

Do your written documents stand out from the crowd and give you a competitive edge? Effective writing is about combining creativity with productivity—to deliver polished and well presented documents for study or business.

Whether you are a student preparing for a college assignment, a small business person developing a home-based business or an executive working in the corporate world, who is interested in skills upgrading, there is something here for you. Effective communication is the key to success and to prosperity.

Let Mike mentor you on your journey.
