WID invites you to a virtual, hands-on, comma throw-down!
This workshop is designed for development professionals who want to hone their writing skills to engage their audiences, ensure their content is inclusive, and present themselves in a polished, professional manner.
Barbara Kancelbaum, grammar guru and Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Henry Street Settlement, will answer your most challenging questions.
Do you ever wonder…
- 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 at registration.
