As a veteran writer, I came to this training with trepidation. My skepticism was immediately dispelled. Whatever your flaws, big or small (and we all have them), Backdraft will clean your game. Highly recommended!
Dan Lalande, Author and Screenwriter
Backdraft was a real gift! The interactive format is fun to use, and each unit is broken down into bite-sized pieces. I would recommend this course to anyone, regardless of your writing level. There is something for everyone to learn.

Backdraft changed the way I think as I write. Blunders and fumbles that used to be corrected by multiple rereads and rewrites are now caught on the fly. My writing is faster and more confident—that is priceless.

And good writing means better business. Unclear writing—whether in emails, reports or simple texts—wastes your time and that of your readers. Crisp, efficient writing that gets right to the point? It shows respect for your audience. It builds trust. It wins people over.
