About the Course

This course teaches writing with style, clearly, directly, and principally for diverse audiences, without compromising the complexity of ideas.

Paradoxically, the more writing has become our primary mode of communication in a globalized, increasingly distancing world today, the less we treat it as a craft that demands principled understanding, regular practice, and careful revision.

The advent of powerful AI tools such as ChatGPT have deepened this paradox; we tend to outsource the entirety of the writing process – critical thinking, writing those thoughts, and editing – to algorithms that cannot capture the singular ways in which we want to reach our audience through our writing.

As a result, publics, juries, admissions committees, publishers, professors, and colleagues, let alone friends and loved ones for whom you write, feel ‘massified’, generic recipients of messages bereft of your, the writer’s, relation with the reader. 

Write: Style implements our ‘Six Principles of Style’ model to harness the power of developing AI technologies such that, if you choose to use these algorithms, your inputs will be critically and principally based, generating much more honed results, as will your editorial refinement of the output. 

This course is ideal for academics writing books and fellowship proposals, artists writing artists’ statements, anyone applying for grants, curators exhibiting catalogues and wall texts, consultants writing reports and strategies, journalists writing news and editorials, NGOs and political activists writing press releases and speeches, advertising and PR teams writing storyboards, high school and college students writing applications to universities ...really anyone who seeks to communicate effectively in written form!
