As a writing consultant, I want to help your company improve their writing skills to better communicate your company goal. As a former writing professor, I have addressed various issues writers face and created workshops to solve those problems. In addition to these following workshops, I can also mix and match technique to best fit your company needs. I can provide half-day, full-day, or series sessions.

“Sandi Harner is nothing short of an expert on clear and strong writing... Her expertise proved helpful again when she gave a grammar and writing seminar here at American Electric Power. I was genuinely impressed with both how she chose the most important points out of a college semester’s worth of material and how she interacted with the audience, keeping them engaged and entertained along the way. I give Mrs. Harner’s work my highest recommendation.”
