When you write a letter to the editor or submit a guest column, do you have a template to use on how you will approach the writing? If you don't, you should. Does your writing end up having an impact? Is it even being read? Are you able to send emails and letters to potential donors that help them understand the importance of your work and why they should support your cause? This free 90-minute course can help you learn some writing tips to make you a more effective advocate for your cause or nonprofit. With simple techniques you can be sure your email to an elected official is being read. And you can learn how to write something meaningful in the 200 words that has become a standard limitation for letters to the editor. It will even help you do better on a certain social media platform that has a 280-character limit. Terry Horne leads the discussion.
