This writing workshop is designed for active participation. Sessions will not be recorded. Attendance at all five sessions is essential to fully benefit from this experience. Sessions are facilitated by Karl P. Keller, MA, MBA, Communication Partners.
REQUIREMENTS
A draft document, ideally a grant submission or resubmission in progress is required for all sessions. The expectation is that participants will work on drafts between sessions and provide updated drafts of writing each week.
