Team Writing Workshops
Tackle Writing Challenges, Strengthen Team Writing Skills, and Accelerate Results
Understanding Team Writing Workshops
Team writing can be challenging when multiple people contribute to the same document without a shared strategy. Our Team Writing Workshops give your staff the tools to write with one voice, even across different roles and expertise levels. We focus on planning, structuring, and editing collaboratively so documents are consistent, accurate, and easy to use. Through hands-on exercises with your materials, teams learn to reduce rewrites, streamline workflows, and produce documents that meet both business and reader needs.
What Sets Our Team Writing Workshops Apart
. Every workshop is customized based on your team’s real documents and challenges. Our workshops aren’t cookie-cutter, and they’re not generic; instead, they are completely customized to ensure they focus on what your team needs to write better documents faster. During the workshop, participants engage with the material and the instructor to ensure they can apply the concepts after the workshop ends. The result: an improved writing strategy and an understanding of how to reduce writing time and improve document quality.
Course Format That Fits Your Team
We offer flexible delivery to match your team’s needs. Workshops can be held onsite for in-person collaboration, virtually in shorter interactive sessions, or through self-paced online modules with instructor feedback. No matter the format, each course is engaging, collaborative, and grounded in concepts of readability. Teams work through exercises, receive practical feedback, and leave with strategies they can implement seamlessly and effectively.

Whether your team writes technical manuals, proposals, reports, SOPs, or client communications, these workshops will align messaging and processes.
