Writing is a vital part of presenting yourself in both creative and professional fields. Resumes or CVs, promotional text, social media and blog posts, email correspondence, and lyrics are just some of the ways that writing can help or hurt you. Learning about your writing style is a professional and personal development tool.
If you are a creative person that would like to have more control over your professional presentation, or need creative writing ideas or feedback, this is for you.
If you are a left-brained individual who would like guidance in finding therapeutic or introspective writing prompts, this is for you.
Whoever you are, creative or not, this personalized tutoring will help you explore your strengths and weaknesses when it comes to writing in any scenario.
