About this course

Trying to produce a finished message in one attempt often mixes planning with sentence polishing. Tom Foskett separates those tasks into planning, drafting and editing, giving everyday workplace writers a compact process they can apply to emails as well as longer documents.

The course begins with the reader and the purpose of the message. It then moves through deciding what to say, creating a rough draft and reviewing the result. The editing lesson considers both feedback from another person and situations where you need to review your own work.

Skills you’ll gain

  • Planning around the reader’s needs
  • Separating drafting from editing
  • Making a message easier to follow
  • Reviewing a workplace document

A word processor or pen and paper is enough to practice. The advice is intended for anyone who writes at work, including people whose writing mainly consists of occasional emails. No paid writing application is required by the listed prerequisites.

This is a process-focused introduction rather than an exhaustive grammar course. To apply it, choose a message you genuinely need to write, identify its purpose and audience, and return to the draft for a separate edit. That is a suggested practice approach, not a claim that the course includes a graded writing assignment.
