Seeking Lousy Nonprofit Writing - Worst Example Wins!
I’m working on a new webinar for later this spring currently titled “Nonprofit Writing Sucks - How to Write Like the Smart, Passionate Human Being You Are Instead of the Wonky, Dead-Inside Droid You Sound Like Now. ” Yes, I agree, the title needs some work, but you get the gist.
I’ve been collecting examples of horrible writing by nonprofits for awhile now, but have faith that you, dear blog reader, can come up with even more wonderfully awful stuff for me to include in the exercises. All bad writing is fair game, no matter why it’s bad, as long as it appears in a nonprofit publication either in print or online. In most cases, I will protect the guilty by changing names, etc.
I promise to honor your confidentiality if you send me something from your own organization!
The person who submits the sample that makes me grimace and/or laugh the most will get a free webinar pass to spend on whichever webinar you like or to re-gift to a friend who needs it more than you do.
Contact me via email or snail mail with links, copies, etc. Or leave a comment directing me to copy.
I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
