(One-day workshop)


Date(s): Aug 9 | Nov 16

Description
This workshop adapts proven project management principles for the tasks writers and editors encounter every day.

Work with other writers and editors to consider problems that commonly arise, as well as solutions that make you more effective as a project manager.
