Summary:
Writing is critical to persuade people to do something. Change legislation. Inspire local action. Grant funds. Win a client. Support your cause. Or just get a meeting so you can outline your argument in person. It doesn’t matter who you’re trying to persuade or what format you’re using to convince them. Use real examples and your own work to identify and practise the key elements of persuasive writing needed to convince the reader.Details
