You can be sitting at your desk or using your tablet on a train. Whenever you have 10 minutes to spare, you can login to an Online Writing Training program and improve your writing skills.  

Do you know where to use apostrophes? If you don't, you're in good company and you've come to the right place. Online Writing Training's first writing training programs are all related to grammar and business writing

• An A–Z of Punctuation
• Grammar Glitches
• The Art of Writing Sentences
• Working with Words

These programs have been developed by Mary Morel. She's built up her practical grammar knowledge from training in the corporate world and answering hundreds of grammar questions in her e-newsletter. Apostrophe questions are the most common! 

Grammar can be difficult – true. It can also be boring – not so on this site. What makes Online Writing Training grammar come alive is:

• Variety – the programs use a variety of different activities to engage your interest. 
• Commonsense approach – grammar is explained as simply as possible. As Katri Hilden, freelance editor, says: 'Mary takes a modern approach to grammar and makes this sometimes confusing topic easy to understand.'
• Accompanying e-books – each program is accompanied by an e-book, which is a useful reference guide during and after the course.

Testimonial

'As a business owner I have always been concerned about my punctuation. With the split-second speed of internet trade, being able to communicate clearly is essential. I know companies and clients build opinions based on the quality of my communication skills. I also know that mistakes can sway prospective customers. Mary's online writing training (OWT) has helped me in a way no teacher – or seven years of university – could. Before OWT, I avoided using punctuation wherever possible; if in doubt don't. Thanks to the simple interface and the diversity of learning styles, I have mastered more about grammar than I ever thought possible. Mary is truly a Titan of the written word and a veteran of grammar. Her online school has been like having Mary herself at my beck and call. I cannot recommend it more highly.'
