Taught by Sally Herships
Writing for the ear is different than writing for the eye. All you have to do to see how different is to pick up a copy of an academic paper and read it out loud. The differences are so extreme that often, you have to throw out all the rules you've spent a lifetime learning and start all over again from scratch. Come and get started at this workshop covering the basics of writing for the ear.
