When you choose a Wylie Communications writing class, you’ll:
1. Walk away with proven-in-the-lab best practices.
No doubt about it: Our trainer Ann Wylie is a nerd. While you’re out having fun on a Friday night, Ann’s more likely to be cuddled up with a warm study.
All of those Friday nights and all of those studies have resulted in a system of data-driven techniques that get readers to:
- Pay attention to your message
- Understand it
- Remember it
- Act on it
How do we know our system works? It’s the same approach Ann’s used to earn more than 60 communication awards, including two IABC Gold Quills — the Pulitzer Prizes of business communications.
“This was the best writing workshop I’ve ever taken. It was packed with best practices backed up by research.”
— Liz Carmack, senior communications specialist, Texas Association of Counties
2. Get tips and tricks you can use tomorrow.
Tricks trump talent every day. When it comes to communication, marketing and PR writing, whoever has the most tricks wins.
At our writing workshops, you’ll get fill-in-the-blanks formulas for crafting corporate stories and metaphors … recipes and templates for writing blog posts and news releases … tools and targets for measurably improving readability … models for quickly organizing stories of all kinds … and tricks, tactics and techniques for handling dozens of other writing issues.

“This is the best writing class I’ve attended in my 25-year PR career.”
— Mark Alden, PR manager, National Semiconductor
3. Master the techniques you learn in class.
In the crunch of writing headlines and meeting deadlines, it sometimes seems as if there’s not enough time to pause and consider how you’re doing.
But our Master Classes include workshops. In these practice sessions, you’ll get a great opportunity for reflection and improvement.
Bring your laptop and a story to work on. You’ll learn new techniques, practice them, get feedback from Ann and the class, edit and rewrite, and leave with a totally rewritten piece. That’s how we put the Master in Master Class.
“I cannot believe how much I changed and improved one piece in this session. I also enjoyed the ability to hear more from the other professionals in the room. Very interactive, which I loved.”
— Megan McCarl, public relations associate, Lambert, Edwards & Associates
