Blogging is a powerful way to share what you know. On Thursday, February 9th at Greater Greater Washington's downtown office, we’ll train you to write blog posts that effectively and persuasively share your ideas with the world.

The workshop is from 6:30-8:30 at WeWork Metropolitan Square (1440 G Street NW, Washington DC). The goal is to help you expand your writing skills by teaching you what works and what doesn’t in blogging! Here’s some of what we’ll cover:

  • Three fundamentals that any blog post should have
  • How to pick a topic and write an introduction that will grab readers’ attention
  • The strengths and weaknesses of a sample GGWash post

We’ll also have plenty of time to answer your questions, and we'll also provide a light dinner.

If you want to attend, please let us know via this form!

We plan to host more of these sessions all around the region, as we’re constantly looking to grow our community of writers— so don’t worry if you can’t make it to this one. Also, let us know if you’d like to host a session; we’d love to come to your neighborhood or group!

Aside from our upcoming workshop, make sure to add these other great events to your calendar!
