Do you dream of leaving your office job and making your mark on the world by writing a wildly popular book or creating a magnificent blog read by thousands—if not millions—of people?

Do you wish you were able to write business reports, sales emails, website copy, cover letters or college essays with supreme confidence?

Imagine, then, what it would be like if you could write with the style and flair of journalists on top newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal and The Economist.

Welcome to the brand new second edition of Secret Sauce Of Great Writing, a program that will show you how it’s possible to upgrade your business writing, blog writing and copywriting skills to that level extremely fast.

The course is taught by Shani Raja, author of the bestselling Udemy course Writing With Flair: How To Become An Exceptional Writer and a former Wall Street Journal senior editor and writing coach, as well as an ex-contributor to The Economist, the FT, Dow Jones, and Bloomberg News.

In this course, Shani will introduce you to the fundamental four ingredients of exceptional writing:

Simplicity Clarity Elegance Evocativeness

In as little as an hour, you’ll know exactly how to apply this “secret sauce” to your own writing—putting you way ahead of other writers in your profession or industry.

The secret sauce

The first three ingredients in the secret sauce—simplicity, clarity, and elegance—respectively make your writing punchy, crisp and graceful.

This enhanced and expanded edition of the course adds a fourth ingredient to the formula—evocativeness, which helps lift your writing even higher above that of the masses.

Evocativeness is the quality that makes your prose stimulating.

When you put those four ingredients together in a piece of writing, it will become truly outstanding.

In fact, it’s the exact formula Shani has used for many years to edit articles devoured regularly by millions of people worldwide.

Perhaps you’ve always felt your writing was too weak to get noticed or make an impact. Maybe you’ve struggled to figure out how to improve it, or even to know where to begin.

Don’t worry.

This course will reveal the writing tactics of world-class editors in a well structured and easy-to-follow format.

You’ll find that as soon as you incorporate those four ingredients (simplicity, clarity, elegance, and evocativeness) into your writing, you’ll see a seismic shift in the impact of your words and sentences.

How many job interviews might you have lost because your cover letters and resume didn’t hit home?

How many customers might you have turned off because the words on your website were too dull and uninspiring to read?

How many books or blog posts have you quit writing, or put off because you couldn’t figure out why your sentences and words lacked the power to captivate a reader?

You’ll find the answers to such questions in this course, your first glimpse into the wondrous world of elite writing.

Not tips, but a writing system

This entry-level writing course doesn’t focus on the technical aspects of writing, such as grammar rules.

Rather, it reveals the powerful key principles that will enable you quickly to design more stylish prose.

Nor will you get a bunch of fragmented writing “tips” you could pick up anywhere on the internet.

This is an all-encompassing writing system that will change forever the way you think about and approach the craft.

Your essays, cover letters, press releases, marketing copy, and sales emails—not to mention books and blog posts—will never look the same again.

“Most great teachers can’t write, and most great writers can’t teach. Shani Raja is one of the few who excels at both. I managed dozens of reporters and editors during my 12-year career at Bloomberg News. Now he’s the person I go to when I want help with my writing.” NICOLAS JOHNSON, FORMER BLOOMBERG AND GLOBE AND MAIL EDITOR.

“As a young reporter, my prose might have been robotic and jargon-laden if not for Shani’s watchful eye and attention to the elusive human interest behind ostensibly technical stories. Beyond the standard (yet crucial) reporting skills—like accuracy, clarity, and integrity—I also learned refinement, how to withstand impulses toward glibness and cynicism that can naturally set in when oft revisiting the same beat. Shani will teach you how to write well, and with grace.” HAWA ALLAN, JOURNALIST AND FICTION WRITER.
