Dear all,

It's not too late to book for our Digital TextWorkshop course at the Saatchi Gallery on 5th December 2012, from only £75. Join us if you can for a packed day full of tips, examples and techniques.

The Saatchi Gallery is Britain's most active museum or gallery on Twitter and Facebook, and we'll hear how they've built such a following during the day.

Here are the full details of the workshop:

• Digital TextWorkshop: Wednesday 5th December 2012, 10.30am-4.30pm at the Saatchi Gallery in London. From the web to twitter, it’s never been more important to get your digital text-writing up to scratch. Digital TextWorkshop will cover all the tips and tricks of effective digital communication, with input from experts from inside and outside the museum field. We’ll cover writing for blogs and websites – as well as how and why you should tweet.

Other dates open for booking are:

• TextWorkshop: Tuesday 12th March 2013, 10.30am-4.30pm at the Geffrye Museum, London. Our unique TextWorkshop course brings together expertise from the worlds of museums and journalism to give you a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of good writing – and how to apply them to great text-writing. In a day packed with tips, examples and exercises, you’ll feel challenged and motivated, and you’ll take away lots of new and practical ideas.

• Trails TextWorkshop: Wednesday 24th April 2013, 10.30am-4.30pm at the Natural History Museum, London. Do you develop visitor trails for museums, galleries, historic houses, towns or gardens? Do you want to write trails that really work for their target audience? Then Trails TextWorkshop fits your needs. The day is packed with practical tips, examples and new ideas to take away. It includes the chance to look at what works and doesn’t work in a trail, experiment with diverse ways of writing trails, and try out real-life trail text on-site.
