Writing From The Reader's Perspective workshop with Dr. George Gopen

Leave your writing manual at home! This is not a workshop on split infinitives and grammar but one about ensuring that you are communicating with clarity, coherence, and accuracy to achieve the results you desire. Dr. Gopen's approach is stated simply: Readers take the majority of their clues for the interpretive process not from word choice nor from word meaning, but rather from the structural location of words. Thus, where a word appears in a sentence will control most of the use to which that word will be put. We all know this intuitively as readers. Dr. Gopen will make it conscious in us as writers. This method works, as attested by thousands who have benefited from adopting writing from the reader's perspective. Plus, you will earn a certificate for completion documenting Continuing Education Units (CEUs) from Duke Continuing Studies.
