Are you looking for a Lunch and Learn program or a Coffee Course for your staff? How about Oops! Your Grammar Glitches (and other writing slips) are showing!

 

Based on examples from her popular blog (Grammar Glitch Central), Ruth Beaumont Cook presents often hilarious examples of writing Glitches and ways to fix them. The program includes word usage bloopers, apostrophe and comma abuse, and word order nightmares.

 

This one-hour presentation can be expanded to a half-day workshop that offers participants the opportunity to practice fixing the Glitches themselves.  The workshop includes The Cook Book of Writing Solutions.
