Writing for the public is wildly different from writing for an academic journal or professor. Word choice, headlines, sources, and visuals can help deliver the message, but most importantly, you have to translate the information without making it too basic. This Master Class will coach you on the tricky balance, with plenty of real-world examples and personal workshopping. We will also talk about how to get your writing published, even if you aren't chasing a journalism or English degree.
