We usually take the high road, but on January 23, the topic for our Fix This Writing broadcast is “Words We Hate.” We’ll be fully peevish about empty words, overused words, not-really-a-word words, and even yucky words. (“Moist,” anyone?) Join me and Kim Sydow Campbell on Jan 23 at 2:30 pm Eastern on #LinkedInLive and share the words you love to hate.

Each month on Fix This Writing!, we take an example of not-very-good writing, explain why it’s not good, and show you how to fix it. We also talk about why the writer wrote it in that not-very good way. (We’re both writing teachers, so we’ve studied why people write the way they do!)
