“What I liked best about the course was the interaction with others and the hands-on component, where we got to work on real pieces. It forces you to think and apply what has been learned. As with every course in this series, I loved it.”

“Great overview for writing techniques on any kind of writing—especially web. I would recommend this workshop to anyone interested in more in-depth knowledge of writing for web, not only for the course content , but for the instructor’s coaching skills. The course is also useful for people interested in personal development.”
– Jessica, The Artist and the Others
“The size of the group kept [the training] varied but overseeable. I liked the extras: the extensive course material, the cake, the charm of the building, and the book-lined workroom.
Frequent breaks meant everyone could check their phones without interrupting the workflow and we kept our energy levels up.”
– Marijn
“The workshop exceeded expectations–the information was excellent, the atmosphere both friendly and professional. The very participatory approach kept things lively. Potentially intimidating technical language and concepts were demystified, and concrete and practical information was shared.”
– Shelley
“The class gave me useful tools and techniques to work in a structured way and make my texts clearer, more thorough, more appealing, and more incisive. I now have a method I can always refer to in order to get the best out of my writing. I found it particularly useful to re-write pieces based on a new lede.
I recommend this workshop to non-native speakers [of English]. The atmosphere was really relaxed and engaging at the same time. The participants helped each other without judging. Also, I believe this workshop was the perfect opportunity to network.”

“This course has stood me in good stead. It was definitely a case of the right input at the right time. I needed to address the issues involved activities were non-threatening, to-the-point and useful. But most of all, I thoroughly enjoyed the teaching – very personal style and, more important, ‘sticky’! Lots has stuck with me because it was so relevant.”
– Sara
“I enjoyed instructor’s style of teaching: upbeat, energetic and passionate. I left the workshop totally inspired to get back to my beloved blog. Thank you!”

“ ‘Writing for the Web’ was very interactive. We worked with practical examples and spent time focusing on each participant’s text. I can easily use the writing techniques and the checklists from this course. I really appreciated that the instructor took extra time for me after the first session; that gave me inspiration for how to organize and prioritize my written work. Also, the lunches were amazing!”
– Maxime, Embassy of the Netherlands
“What did I like best about the workshop? The fact that no time was wasted, the content was very interesting, and the location was perfect. I can list on my right hand the teachers in my lifetime who made an impression on me and this instructor has made the list! Not only was the content valuable, but got to ‘pick her brain’ for more and more information. She brought the information over in an informative and stimulating manner, with suggestions and comments that created interaction amongst the group. Thank you!”
– Carol, Executive MBA Programme Manager; Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University
“The content of the workshop is focused on writing for the web but catered to the attendees’ needs. What was also useful for me was the mix of people participating. This led to eye-openers about the jargon I tend to use, and the assumptions I sometimes make. The attendees provided both professional feedback and acted as members of the general public. I admire the instructor’s passion for text and her knowledge of writing techniques.”
– Barbara, Communications & Marketing Manager, HE Space
“I would describe the content of the workshop as varied and real. It is based on the challenges one faces daily at work. What I liked best about the course was the interaction with others and the hands-on component, where we got to work on real pieces. It forces you to think and apply what has been learned. As with every course in this series, I loved it. It energized me and made me want to improve my skills.”
