Write for the Web with Ann Wylie

Ann WylieJoin us at the internationally renowned Museum of Glass

When reading on the screen, people suffer physical ailments ranging from double vision to nausea to difficulty thinking.

No wonder people avoid reading online.

In this half-day workshop, you’ll learn a six-step process for writing Web copy that overcomes the obstacles of online reading:  

  • Is your copy getting to the point fast enough? Run my quick test and find out. 
  • Include the two elements needed in an online lead
  • Use up-to-the-minute research to determine page length 
  • Apply the 30-3-30-3 rule to give online readers what they’re looking for
  • Chunk your copy instead of irritating the reader by chopping it
  • Develop a voice for your online communications

PRSA’s national writing coach is coming back to the South Sound for the third time to teach us how to write better.

Wylie’s one-hour teleseminars generally cost as much as $250—but thanks to PRSA, members can see her in person for this half-day workshop for less than $100.
