Grammar & Style Crash Course

We all remember sitting through monotonous grammar and style lessons during our formal education. Whether the last time you talked about the difference between a direct object and an object complement was high school or college English comp, after years as a professional, the finicky rules of writing often give way to convenience and slang. While everyone makes this shift, there’s also nothing which makes a person look less professional than using the wrong form of “to/two/too” or writing an email in text talk.

In our Grammar and Style Crash Course, MFA and English professor Amber Peckham will review the basics of English grammar with your team. We’ll also talk about style and syntax, how to structure a sentence, and flow from beginning to end in a piece of writing. Best of all, the presentation will be engaging, informative, and, dare we say, amusing.
