This webinar is hosted by the Portland Chapter. It’s free to SDA members. Be sure to register to get the Zoom meeting link from the Portland Chapter.
Topics covered will include consistency, grammar, usage, word choice, and style. Will also address how to avoid common errors in all of those areas. For example, you’ll learn when it is correct to use a semicolon, how to treat numbers in text, and when it’s okay to use passive voice. Catching these common errors will result in higher quality documents.
