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.
Training that gets your team writing with one voice
When multiple people contribute to the same document, voice drifts, reviews stall, and rewrites pile up. For 35+ years, Hurley Write has helped teams adopt a shared writing strategy so every contributor produces work that's consistent, clear, and easy to review. Every workshop is customized to your team's real documents.
Built around your documents
We work with your team's actual emails, reports, proposals, and SOPs so the training transfers directly to daily work.
One voice, many writers

Fewer rewrites, faster reviews

Teams work through exercises, receive practical feedback, and leave with strategies they can implement seamlessly and effectively.

Next Steps: Improve Your Team’s Communication Today
Let’s discuss your team’s unique communication challenges.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a team writing workshop?
A team writing workshop is hands-on training that aligns a group around a shared writing strategy. Hurley Write customizes each workshop around your team’s actual documents so reports, proposals, SOPs, and internal communications read with one voice, reducing rewrites and streamlining reviews across roles.
How does a team writing workshop differ from individual writing training?
Individual training builds personal skills. Team writing workshops align everyone around a shared approach to planning, structuring, and reviewing documents. Your team leaves with the same vocabulary, the same standards, and the same expectations, which is what eliminates rework when multiple people contribute to the same document.
Which team members should attend a team writing workshop?
Engineers, technicians, analysts, HR, operations, marketing, sales, and customer-facing staff all benefit. Anyone who writes reports, proposals, SOPs, policies, or client communications will gain practical tools. Workshops work best when the people who collaborate on the same documents attend together.
Can Hurley Write customize a team writing workshop for our documents and industry?
Yes. We design every workshop around your team’s actual documents and workflows. We use your team’s writing samples for exercises and breakouts, which makes the training directly applicable. We’ve customized workshops for pharma, energy, finance, engineering, manufacturing, and technology teams.
Can cross-functional teams take a writing workshop together?
Yes. Cross-functional cohorts often see the strongest results because writers from different departments learn to apply the same standards across documents that move between teams. We design exercises that connect engineering to operations, analysts to executives, and technical staff to client-facing roles.
How long does a team writing workshop typically take?
Onsite workshops run two to five days depending on document complexity and team size. Virtual workshops are typically 10 hours split into two-hour sessions. We adjust length based on your team’s writing volume, document types, and how much hands-on practice the group needs.
What results can our team expect after a writing workshop?
Teams see fewer document revisions, faster review cycles, and clearer writing across roles. One client reduced reviewing time by 25 percent. Teams produce documents that are easier to read, more aligned in voice, and require fewer iterations between contributors and reviewers.
Do you offer team writing workshops for remote and hybrid teams?
Yes. Our virtual workshops deliver the same interactive experience as onsite training, with live breakouts, real-time instructor feedback, and exercises built around your team’s documents. We also offer self-paced online courses for distributed teams that prefer flexible scheduling.
What does ongoing support look like after a team writing workshop?
We offer long-term retention programs including coaching, document review, style guides, and refresher sessions. Many teams pair the workshop with our PROS Communication Diagnostic to identify recurring writing issues and measure improvement over time, ensuring skills hold beyond the initial training.
How do we get started with a Hurley Write team writing workshop?
Schedule a free consultation to discuss your team’s writing challenges and goals. We’ll review sample documents, recommend a workshop format, and design a program around your industry and team size. You can also download our workshop catalog to explore available training options.
