Do you need help to get your message across? The web is the first step in effective low cost promotion of your organisation. The next step is learning how to write powerfully for the web so that you can grab the attention of your audience. Creating Capacity has ‘Writing with oomph: How to use creative writing to wake up your readers’ on 12th April which will support you to improve your writing skills. In particular the course will cover writing for website homepages, Twitter, and for Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) so that your audiences really enjoy what you write. Your learning will be through practical exercises and examples from the culture and heritage sectors and beyond. There is an opportunity for you to begin work on your own project (for example re-writing a website homepage), and to get feedback from our excellent trainer Frances Booth. Frances brings her expertise as a writer and editor to the course. She is a trained journalist and sub-editor. The organisations and publications she works for include guardian.co.uk, National Geographic Traveller UK magazine, and The Ministry of Stories.
