How would you like to write with the style and flair of top journalists on newspapers like The Wall Street Journal and The Economist?

What if you knew the tricks of the trade that make the writing of those journalists sing and their words dance off the page?

What could knowing those principles do for your essays, reports, marketing copy, sales emails or blog posts?

You're about to discover a powerful new framework that will change forever how you write, from someone who trains top journalists how to superpower their writing...

And to learn from an instructor who teaches top journalists how to improve their writing, and has worked for some of the world's biggest news organizations--including The Economist, Financial Times and Bloomberg News.

Writing isn't just another skill. It's one of the most important you need for conveying a professional image and climbing up the career ladder.

But while plenty of people can write, very few have mastered the craft of writing with style and flair.

Top journalists are among those people. They know heaps of tricks, tactics and principles to make their writing stand out dramatically from the crowd.

I'm going to reveal those secrets to you here. Once you've learned them, you'll realize it's always been as easy as understanding a few key principles and then applying them.

By the end, you'll know exactly how to give your writing a massive edge over the work of your colleagues and competitors.

  • Get more clicks (and conversions) on your website
  • Get your CV to the top of the must-see interview pile
  • Make your essays the slickest in your class

Smart writing is a skill you simply must have to make a strong impression in whatever field you're in. Being able to write with clarity, precision and elegance will also get you much further in life. On the flip-side, poor writing can hold back your career by decades, and scar your company's image.

Very few people are able to write with the elegance of top journalists who've spent years receiving military-style training to help them quickly weed out fluff from their writing, make it flow beautifully, and express themselves with crystal clarity.

This is a rare chance to discover how they do their magic and to make your business writing sparkle by incorporating their tactics.

These elite techniques will superpower your cover letters, press releases, marketing copy and sales emails. Your blogs will look a thousand times crisper and sharper.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
