Feedback From In-House Course Participants
“For background, I have undertaken copy edit workshops in the past, with different outcomes/angles, such as understanding in-house brand voice and Vis Comms adapting styles from traditional Cambridge/ Chicago to new voices and digital styles. However, this workshop was a fantastic PD opportunity to engage with the team, as it added context to our immediate everyday tasks and having two sessions was terrific!
- Narrative logic: Having us brainstorm and analyse text together was a valuable exercise. We were mindful of the audience/reader and proactive about peer reviews/seeking feedback where possible.
- Creative writing flow vs strategic edits: a clear toolkit to apply this in my current role.”
