About this learning
Hello, I'm Kwriter.
My name is Kate. I'm a writer, communicator and educator and I've managed my own company serving business and government for more than 25 years.
I've worked within various sectors, including marketing, ocmmunications, advertising, publishing, media relations, event management, adult education and the arts. It was editorial writing, printing and publishing and the experts I met that taught me the most and inspired me to teach.
So, welcome to my online school. Take a look around and see what inspires you to succeed at work.
About the learning materials
Our three ten-week certificate courses are undergraduate programs I have taught online and on campus with hundreds of students. My work and learning experience as a professional writer and communicator has also been woven into the instructional design.
As an advocate of Open Learning, I used pressbooks and other open learning resources in each course -- all free for learners to access and keep. I then curated content from various sources to add relevance, depth, and interest to serve as real life examples from my varied workplaces. This mix offers academic rigor, authenticity, and a dash of the unexpected.

“Skill in writing is one of the things I look for most in hiring because I feel that clear writing represents clear thinking, regardless of someone’s background.
The ability to communicate effectively and clearly in written form is not only super important in a distributed company, but I think reflects well on how a person approaches life in general.”
