WID invites you to a virtual, hands-on, comma throw-down!

 

Bring your questions to grammar guru, Barbara Kancelbaum.

 

Why does Word want me to change “which” to “that”?

What’s the difference between “i.e.” and “e.g.”?

How do I ensure my writing is gender inclusive?

Do I need a comma? Can I use a hyphen?

 

Submit your own grammar and writing questions in advance when you register!

 

This workshop is designed for development professionals who want to polish their writing to better engage their audiences and ensure their content is inclusive.
