The course was great. The instructor was clear and engaging, the formula is very helpful and I liked having both good and not as good examples of how to use the formula.

Learner testimonials...
 “Whether I’m writing to a judge, opposing counsel, or a client, I write more efficiently and effectively using High-Value Writing strategies. I now consider my reader’s needs first and make the information clear and easy to digest.”– Kelly Mieske, Attorney, California, USA |
|
As a CPA I must explain complex ideas to clients with little knowledge about the area. Now, my emails, reports and requests are clear and concise. I feel much more confident that people understand important points and can follow requests easily. Thank you so much!” – Linda Whittaker, CPA, Alberta, Canada |
 “Being a student, concise writing has always been a challenge. However, High-Value Writing strategies have helped me in attaining brevity in my writing. With High-Value Writing lessons, I have been scoring quite well in competitive exams.”– Junaid Ahmed, International Relations Student, Islamabad, Pakistan |
|
– Paul Briley, Life Coach, California, USA |
 “As a college professor who writes multiple emails daily and has to give consistent, meaningful, and clear feedback to students I really appreciate High-Value Writing. It has helped me to be more precise in my wording and more concise. My students are better able to understand the points I'm trying to make and there is overall, less frustration and confusion for us all.”– Heather Aydelott, Professor, New Mexico, USA |
 “As an editor and copywriter, I often debate word choices with my clients. High-Value Writing gave me the language and evidence to explain why some words are or are not effective in specific contexts. Assigning value to words based on the efficacy with which they communicate the intended message (or unintended messages) is a highly useful skill that allows me to take abstract, subjective language concepts and apply them in more concrete, objective terms. Thank you Erin for equipping me with the tools to do this!”– Skylar Griego, Editor and Copywriter, Arizona, USA |
“Until I started learning High-Value Writing strategies, I thought I wrote well. Then I realized, I didn’t – at all.
"As a life coach, I work with clients who often reference misunderstandings, challenges with communicating what they want and unclear expectations. High Value Writing helps develop and refine the “skills” of making clear requests and agreements between individuals. Erin helps people find and create clarity!”Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Do I have to complete a course all at once?
No. Each eCourse can be paused and resumed anytime.
-
What are the courses like?
Each self-paced High-Value Writing course includes an introductory unit, 3-6 main units of core curriculum, and a wrap-up unit. Each unit contains videos explaining concepts, with examples to illustrate and apply learning. You'll watch videos and answer reflective questions in each unit.
-
Will I get any printable material to save from my course?
Yes. While the courses are video-based and include reflection questions, they also include two printable takeaways: A Syllabus listing learning objectives and course description, and a Course Reference Sheet offering a one-page review of the course concepts.
-
What materials do I need to complete my course?
All you need is an internet connection, the ability to watch videos and hear audio, and a place to take notes. Each course asks you to practice sentence revisions, so you'll want a place to write down those notes.
-
How can I show my supervisor I completed a course?
You will receive a Certificate of Completion when you finish a High-Value Writing course. You will also have access to a downloadable Course Reference Sheet with the main points from the class. Each of these can be printed and shared.
-
Do the courses include opportunities to practice and apply concepts?
Yes. Each course includes two types of practice opportunities: (1) reflection questions to check your understanding, and (2) revision opportunities to practice writing strategies.
-
Do I need the High-Value Writing book to take a course?
No. The courses teach through videos, and all the materials you'll need for your course are included in the registration. However, some students like to read the book for extra support.
-
