Things are tough all over.
 
I hear from interpreters world-wide, from sites large and small, public and private, museums and parks and nature centers, colleges and tourist outfits and independent contractors,  all worried about finances. The economy. Paying for training. Finding the money to continue the good work they're committed to doing.

I can't fix the world-wide economy, and I can't do my writing workshops for free. But I can tell you that excellent writing is key to solving these problems.

You've no doubt heard (maybe even from your boss or supervisor), "Anybody can write. " After more than twenty years of writing, editing, and teaching people how to write and edit, I can assure you that anybody can write, but very few people write well.

Why does that matter? Because strong writing convinces people to support our agencies, institutions, and organizations. It persuades civic and political groups to fund us. Excellent writing brings in sponsorships and grant money. It gets the word out to people who never realized  how wonderful and cool and amazing our museum, aquarium, forest, culture, WORLD is--and once they've made that discovery, they become supporters, too.

If your budget won't stretch far enough today to join us at the Oct. 11-16 Interpretive Writing Intensive, I understand, and I hope  that the articles and essays I include with most of these newsletters help you become a better writer.

I try to never cancel a workshop--I've run the Interp Writing Intensive for as few as three people (especially when it's close to home, which this one is)--but that's the hard decision I'm facing this week.

If you've been thinking about coming but have been delaying, don't wait any longer. If you've been waiting for your fiscal year to roll over before registering or your paperwork for approval is still winding its way through the red tape maze, please take advantage of our "register today, pay in October" offer.

Hope to see you in October, and in the meantime, keep writing!
