Course Description:

'' Reports and proposals follow different rules to normal writing and are written for specific business purposes. What makes reports and proposals different is that they need to be structured in such a way that people can refer to specific parts, or act upon specific parts easily. They also need to provide clear signals to the reader about what is required from them. This course provides an overview and some practical experience of how to present information effectively and clearly so that it communicates its business purpose and facilitates action by the reader. Conventions of how to organise information within a proposal, brief or report are covered and practised.

Participants will receive a copy of Style Manual for Authors Editors and Printers, 6th Ed.
