PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y.--(Business Wire)--
If you're faced with a special report, proposal or letter and
you're on deadline, you may wish you had a writing expert to call and
help you through it. Imagine having a writing instructor ready to hold
an online class for you in punctuation and grammar or writing winning
proposals or persuasive writing.

   Gary Blake, Director of The Communication Workshop, offers a
variety of writing seminars "on demand." You tell him the date and
time you want the class and he'll meet you on line and give you the
type of help that only a live instructor can offer. Says Blake, "While
technology has improved, people's writing skills have declined. My
webinars offer personalized writing training, online, to individuals
or businesspeople who need help quickly." (www.writingworkshop.com)

   "Although I have presented writing seminars at more than 100
insurance companies, I have created these webinars for a variety of
businesspeople and individuals who may not always have much choice in
obtaining high-quality personalized writing training. The webinars are
convenient, easy on the budget, and require no special software," says
Blake.

   "The decline of America's writing skills echoes throughout the
whole country," says Blake. In this week's New Yorker, there are two
cartoons lampooning poor writing skills, one in which the "10 Items or
Less" sign at a supermarket check out is changed to "10 items or
fewer."

   After years of teaching on-site seminars, Blake finds webinars
have an immediacy and intimacy that are vital to having people feel
comfortable and confident about their writing. Webinar prices range
for ($129/person for a 70-minute intensive class to about $250) for a
series of four 1-hour online classes in topics such as Effective
Claims Writing, Persuasive Writing, and Achieving the Right Tone.
