You’ll also find out all you need to know about the preparation you need to do before you start drafting, and about the principles you need to apply as you write.

See how closely drafting and researching intertwine

As you progress through the course and polish your writing skills, you’ll realise how closely related drafting and researching are.

With this understanding, you’ll see how rewarding and productive it can be to write before you feel completely ready.

Master this critical writing process stage with help from experts in the field

Throughout the course, you’ll be guided by Patrick Barry, author and professor at The University of Michigan. You’ll also receive advice from a diverse set of writers to equip you with the skills to confidently tackle drafting.
