Writing workshops and editing for international organizations
Andrew Johnston
Clearer writing. Bigger impact.
Powerful writing can change the world by informing and motivating policymakers, donors and opinion-shapers. But many documents from international organizations fail because they lack a clear main message, their recommendations are vague, and they use dense, opaque prose.
My writing workshops show participants how to:
- start with the message, not the background
- turn evidence into clear arguments
- make recommendations specific and usable
- tell stories more powerfully
- make the most of AI and avoid its pitfalls
- write shorter, clearer sentences and paragraphs
- adapt tone and language to the audience.
