VIRTUAL: Writing to Persuade
Start + Grow Your Business
Learn the rules of persuasion to succeed in life and business from former New York Times editor and author, Trish Hall.
"Are there rules for argument, for persuasion, for convincing people that they should listen to you? Yes, there are. Although it’s challenging to change minds, there are fundamentals of persuasion, techniques for bringing people over to your side not only in written arguments, but in life."
—from Writing to Persuade by Trish Hall
Trish Hall has spent years immersed in argument, passion, and trendsetting ideas as the person in charge of the Op-Ed page for the New York Times. With this experience, Trish wrote the ultimate guide on writing, and being, persuasive.
