Throughout your academic journey, you have probably noticed that communicating well in writing is vital to fulfilling your goals. You need to choose the exact "right" words to use, as well as identify what emotion or sensibility to evoke in your reader, in order to convey your message effectively and achieve the reaction (and often the grade) you desire.
​
The truth is, learning how to write with intention and power takes time, practice, and many rounds of revision. But the outcome of this kind of hard work can change your life! Investing effort in refining your writing abilities now will secure your professional or creative success down the road.
​
Just imagine it!
​
Your voice will captivate your friends, family members, and peers; your work colleagues, supervisors, and clients; and maybe even authority figures in your city or country...and compel them to listen to your beliefs and visions. You will entertain and persuade; you will inspire and invigorate. As a masterful writer, you will carry the potential to impact the world around you in countless ways.
