In this course, I will present a range of principles and practices to help you write better. The course content is applicable across all fields, faculties, and types of writing projects. We look at the relationship between thinking and writing when to start writing, the golden thread, and useful principles such as how to think like a reader. Some of the practices will help you with better sentence construction. These include: old before new, concrete subjects, complexity last, and ways to ensure that your writing deals directly with what you are trying to convey. This will help your reader and ensure your writing flows.

The material was developed over 5 years of running workshops for students at Wits University in Johannesburg. Some feedback from students of those workshops:

• “These workshops should be compulsory”

• ”Well-planned and informative workshop”

• “The session has been an eye-opener and the lecturer has emphasized a lot on simplicity and owning the story”

• ”Improve my sentence construction”

• ”Helpful tips and tricks - actual practical examples”

• ”Clear understanding and articulation of academic writing style”

Clear and meaningful academic writing is something I care deeply about, and I would love some feedback about this course so I can continue to make improvements and help other writers just like you. Feel free to work through the material at your own pace and aim to put your learnings into practice as soon as possible.

I look forward to hearing about your success as a writer.
