I am pleased to announce we will be modifying our press release format. The new format is in line with the recommendations of Ken O’Quinn, who has conducted the writing workshops for worldwide PR. While they may seem subtle, the changes are powerful when it comes to conveying a strong, clear message.

I learned more helpful tips than in any other writing course in the past 40 years. As an engineer, knowing the “why” is important.

Ken O’Quinn is the best writing coach I have ever worked with.

Participating in your course was one of my best experiences in the past few years. It was such a pleasure to be in a room full of people whose goal was to strengthen their writing, and you did a fantastic job of leading the class.

Ken’s writing workshops received the highest evaluations of any training we’ve done in my five years here.

Ken gave one of the best courses I’ve ever taken. He teaches staff how to write properly, clearly and concisely, from e-mails to major planning documents.

My team had some great feedback on the time they spent with you. They really learned a lot and you received rave reviews.

The feedback from the 40+ communicators who participated in the workshops was overwhelmingly positive. He is passionate about good writing, and it is contagious when he presents. We’re already planning to have him back.

I learned more about writing in your six-hour session than I learned in four years at Northwestern. Your seminar has given me a renewed interest in good writing and confidence I can improve.

Thanks for a great session. You are a sincerely great writing teacher.
