You’ll be amazed by how much your writing can improve in one day at a Write workshop. Our participants often have breakthroughs and develop a new understanding of how to connect with their readers and get better results.
But without reinforcement your learning will fade. The key is to build on that knowledge through regular bite-sized practice. Imagine having your own online writing coach to consolidate what you’ve discovered!
Write Online helps you build your skills
Enter Write Online — our elearning platform designed to help you recap, refine, and expand on what you learn in our workshops. It contains over 180 video tutorials and resources that provide practical tips and techniques for effective writing.
You can take a free 7-day trial to explore the platform and see how it can improve your writing skills.
Write Online is like your own online writing coach. Microlearning:
- recaps core writing concepts and techniques in short, engaging videos
- expands on workshop topics through advanced modules
- gives you access to expert advice with new content added regularly
- includes useful templates, checklists, and writing resources to apply your learning
- works around your schedule — 24/7!
You can go deeper
Our participants often mention the ‘light-bulb’ moments they have in our workshops. Write Online helps to keep that momentum going. You can dive deeper into topics explored in the workshop and master skills at your own pace — whether you’re improving your planning or refining your proofreading technique.
It’s like having a personal writing coach that’s always available to help.
We select and develop content for you
Write Online content is carefully selected and developed to meet your needs. Each piece of content addresses specific learning needs and reinforces key concepts from our workshops.
We identify what you need most and create resources to match.
Our collective wisdom is yours
Write workshops connect you with our experts. Write Online gives you access to the expertise of our entire team of trainers and content specialists. Our talented writers, editors, and proofreaders pour their knowledge into the platform — years of specialist knowledge captured in bite-sized chunks.
Apart from joining Write, this is your best opportunity to tap into our wealth of collective wisdom.
Learn at your own pace and time
Write Online is available whenever and wherever you need it. You won’t need to wait for the next workshop or coaching session. Just log in and start learning, or pick up where you left off.
Perhaps you are polishing editing skills weeks after a workshop. You could be revisiting peer feedback strategies before a big project. You’ll find supportive, concise guidance on Write Online to help you succeed in those moments — and many more.
Tools help you learn — not just consume
As well as bite-sized learning videos, Write Online includes other tools to help you absorb and use what you see.
Each video clip includes subtitles and a full transcript — so it’s easy to review any idea in more detail. We also provide a helpful learning journal, which helps you reflect on the learning points and techniques you learn about. Other collections (like How to create the right tone) have their own workbook — with activities that allow you to respond to the content.

Where to start with your online writing coach?
I recommend the following three Write Online collections.
Ten Elements of Clear Writing
This series concisely summarises the 10 key points of reader-focused writing — as seen in the Write Plain Language Standard. It’s a quick and easy way to remember the key points from our business writing workshops, or to get a quick overview before you attend.
You may even want to share these videos with your teammates — so they can start writing effectively for your readers too.
How to Give Helpful Feedback on Writing
This collection offers you our best advice for giving feedback on writing at work that’s useful, effective, and timely. It’s a great place to start if you’ve attended one of our Peer Review workshops — or even if you haven’t.
This is another useful collection to share with your team.
Language and Grammar Advice that Makes a Difference
This collection includes quick videos on how to use punctuation correctly, create informative headings, and master subject–verb agreement. It’s a really helpful series for reviewing the details of grammar and punctuation.
It’s handy whether you’re a top proofreader honing your skills, or an advanced English learner perfecting your grammar.
