"You don't want your document to get lost in that pile on

      your reader's desk!  Instead of sinking to the bottom,

      you want it to rise to the top, like cream rising to the

     top of a bottle of milk."

 Chris Watson                              .

We'll show you how to create your document so it rises to the top.

Our Writing Skills Training is Tailored Your Needs

We tailor our highly hands–on, practical writing training to meet your organization's specific needs.  All courses focus on strategies and techniques that help your staff write better documents in less time.  We listen to and assess your writing needs, then we can incorporate your writing samples and your organization's policies and goals into all courses we offer.  We know that adults learn best when involved in experiential training––by doing. So our method of instruction gives you lots of practice working with your own documents.  Our highly experienced instructors have worked with a variety of industries and bring high-level expertise to any writing situation.

We also can provide private, one–on–one coaching for your middle and senior management to help them brush–up on or polish their writing skills.

Don't make your readers work to figure out what you mean!

Our Approach to Writing Works!

Our process works––you will leave your ACG program with writing skills that can measurably increase your job performance and your organization's productivity. 

ACG writing workshops will provide you, as a workplace writer, with skills that will improve your logic in organizing and developing ideas and enable you to write more effective, reader–focused documents. You will learn flexible writing processes that allow you to write documents that are more likely to get noticed, and you will learn how to make your writing more correct and concise through a review of plain language writing principles. You will leave any ACG writing workshop with a set of repeatable skills you can apply immediately back at your workplace.
