RB Writing

Copyediting Workshop

Learn copywriting skills from a professional copywriter

You want to improve your business writing skills because:

  • writing well makes you seem more professional
  • you’re likely to win more business
  • you know you could make more impact
  • you know it will help you save time and avoid confusion
  • you enjoy writing but you know there’s more to learn

Reading books, studying technique, trying new things: they all help. But working with a professional copywriter will give you valuable tips for improving your business writing.

A copywriter (me) can explain how and why certain things work (or don’t), work through your thought processes with you, and give you an insight into how they approach writing for businesses.

Have you got a document that needs some work?

If you’ve got an important document you’re working on, like a pitch for new business or a report for a client, we can work through it together. We’ll look at who you are writing for and what you wish to achieve. We’ll look at your writing to ensure it’s doing what you want it to do.

It could make all the difference between getting the business or not, between doing a great job for a client or not.

These are some of the things we’ll be looking at:

  • Clarity, consistency, and conciseness
  • Grammar, spelling, and punctuation
  • Impactful, jargon-free language
  • Tone, style and readability
  • Structure
  • Persuasive writing techniques and calls to action
  • Formatting and layout
  • Search engine optimisation, if it’s relevant
  • Editing and proofreading skills

How do RB Writing copyediting workshops work?

There are a couple of ways we can work together.

You’ve got a specific document that needs work:

it’s easy to get lost and overwhelmed. You need help. Maybe you no longer have any idea if what you’re saying makes sense – or even fulfils the brief anymore. 

You want to improve your general business writing skills:

You don’t have anything specific you’re working on, but you want to hone your writing skills so that when it matters, you’ll be confident your writing can win more business.

FAQ

Who is this workshop for?

The Improve Your Business Writing Skills copediting workshop is for business people keen to hone their own writing skills to get better results.

Does it have to be a two-hour workshop?

It’s unlikely you’ll need less than two hours. It’s easy to underestimate the power of good writing, and not everything is cut and dried – there’s lots to think about! However, they may be occasions when this is appropriate and I’m happy to discuss this. If you’re likely to need more than two hours, we would need to do more than one session, and I’m happy to discuss this too.

How are you qualified to offer this workshop?

I have spent my life immersed in language and languages. I have been a full-time copywriter since 2019. As well as being trained in copywriting and SEO, I am a qualified technical and specialised translator, have a first class degree in French & Italian, and have been writing a successful baking blog since 2012. You’ll find more information about me and my work on my About and Reviews pages – or just ask.

Can't you just rewrite it for me yourself?

Yes, if doing it yourself all seems like too much time and effort, I can copyedit your work for you. Please see my Services page for more details or just get in touch.
