This one-day, practical masterclass will refresh your understanding of grammar and punctuation. It will help you match your writing to your audience and leave you feeling confident about the basic rules, and about what’s right for you and your writing.

Your facilitator will be Andrew Steeds, a publisher and trainer with over 25 years’ experience in writing, grammar and punctuation. He is author of the Publishing Training Centre’s Essential Grammaronline course.

There will be a broad range of exercises, to do on your own, in pairs and in groups.

We will give an overview of the core principles of grammar and punctuation, take a closer look at some of the issues that regularly cause confusion and examine the crucial differences between formal and informal writing, and between British and American English.
