The Chronicle of Philanthropy is not just a printed publication any more! They have a robust website and also host some very interesting web chats.

On November 1st, they held one called: “How Nonprofit Workers Can Sharpen Their Writing Skills.” They had two guests:

Joseph Barbato, co-author of one of the books I highly recommend, Writing for a Good Cause: The Complete Guide to Crafting Proposals and Other Persuasive Pieces for Nonprofits (you can see my other recommended reading right here).

Kerri Karvetski, a marketer, copywriter, consultant, and social-media trainer who works with nonprofits.

I was glad to find the transcript of this online chat, as it includes a lot of writing tips I can get behind. Examples include: encouraging “editing buddies,” writing with different audiences in mind, and how to improve as a writer.
