PRACTICAL CONTENT

BackDRAFT courses help students master the machinery of language in its six component parts: diction, grammar, punctuation, syntax, logic and rhetoric. With direct practical application to writing in the world of work, all courses build skills that students can use to make immediate, measurable improvements in their writing.

PERSONAL FOCUS

All BackDRAFT courses are taught by senior writers who know how daunting the writing process can be. The BackDRAFT approach acknowledges the real-world challenges that professionals face everyday, and helps them draw on their own inner resources of both intellect and personality to accelerate their learning and master their craft—in every genre.

ACTION-BASED LEARNING

There’s no room for training that’s boring, no matter how important the topic. In all our writing-training courses, we feature activities that keep students alert and active. Team events, board games, quizzes and contests augment a curriculum already loaded with hands-on writing-skill development.

TACTICAL ORIENTATION

Ours is an Age of Information in which professionals have more opportunity to write than ever before. At BackDRAFT, we put that practice to work by helping students build tactical habits that refine their own latent writing expertise. The bottom line?—increased writing confidence averaging 178%!

ADVANCED LEARNING AIDS

Our senior writing specialists have spent years developing innovative models to illustrate advanced writing techniques and best practices. Some 40 animated documentary films and 100 instructive models make it straightforward for even occasional writers to master the advanced concepts that can make their writing clear and compelling.
