			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>How to write moving quotes, memorable quips</h2>
<p>A good sound bite can help support your points, give your story a human voice, change the pace of the piece and add creativity and color to your copy. Unfortunately, quotations in business communications often sound as if they were manufactured by a computer, not spoken by a human being.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wyliecomm.com/2011/11/craft-snappy-sound-bites/11-7-2011-2-29-18-pm/" rel="attachment wp-att-4412"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-4412" title="11-7-2011 2-29-18 PM" src="http://www.wyliecomm.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/11-7-2011-2-29-18-PM-300x165.png" alt="" width="300" height="165" /></a>Want to learn to write better sound bites? If so, please join me for PRSA&#8217;s Nov. 10 webinar, &#8220;<a href="http://www.prsa.org/Learning/Seminars/view/509/Create_Snappy_Sound_Bites">Craft Snappy Sound Bites</a>.&#8221; In this session, you will learn how to transform your quotations from blah to brilliant.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll learn how to:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Make quotes crisp, clear and concise, and how to avoid over-quoting, hiccup quotes and an irritating “bumpety-bump” formula that lulls your readers to sleep.</li>
<li>Peel back your quotes to make them tighter and more interesting.</li>
<li>Write a colorful, quotable quote and watch it get picked up by the media.</li>
<li>Write attribution like a pro, and use some simple tricks and rules of thumb that will give your writing polish and authority.</li>
<li>Find and craft testimonials.</li>
</ul>
<p>Hope to &#8220;see&#8221; you there!</p>
