About this Ragan Communications Workshop

What a great time to be a communicator! Important messages get printed, streamed, e-mailed and tweeted. Our audiences are reading, watching, listening—and talking back. Your words, and how you present them, are more important than ever. In our new, one-day edition of Advanced Writing & Editing, you’ll learn how to:

• Find good stories. Where are they? Hint: They’re not sitting on your desk or in your e-mail.
• Improve your reporting. You can’t craft a good story—in any medium—if you don’t have the raw material.
• Get your readers’ attention. Take your best shot through headlines that grab, leads that pull us in and quotes that convey an engaging human presence.
• Layer your online story. Summarize your story for the skimmers and scanners, then let readers choose how deep they want to go.
• Package your print. Use all the tricks to craft a compelling story and keep readers on the page.
• Match words with sound and pictures. Enhance your audio and video with tight and engaging narrative.

Don’t let your words fail you. Tune-up your writing with this fast-paced, one-day workshop.

Logistics

They’re doing construction in the University of Phoenix parking lot. To enter the parking lot you’ll need to:

• Turn south on Green Street (right in front of University of Phoenix),
• Go past the building and follow the street as it curves around,
• Then enter the parking lot from the side.

The meeting rooms, 104-106, are on the first floor. Just walk in and go straight ahead through the double glass doors at the back.

For lunch, some nearby restaurants include:

Wriggles — in the University of Phoenix building; they serve salads, soups, and wraps
Taco Time/Big Rod’s—directly across the street—burgers and tacos
Mimi’s Café, Noodles & Co., IHOP, Rumbi Grill, Baja Cantina, Quizno’s—all about1/2 mile away—go east (right) on 5300 South to State Street, turn left, and they’re all in the complex immediately on your right
