Empowering every writer to meet their goals through strategic, intentional writing.
Our Story
What if you felt good about every email or essay you wrote? High-Value Writing is a modern-day virtual school on a mission to help everyone use their writing to their advantage—to meet goals and build positive relationships.
We believe everyone deserves to navigate writing and communication with flexibility and confidence. By being adaptable in our writing, we can make intentional communication decisions that benefit our lives and relationships. That’s why High-Value Writing teaches communication principles that extend across all areas of writing—from business writing to academic writing to poetry and prose.
In 2018, Erin Lebacqz started High-Value Writing to disrupt the ways we teach, use, and talk about writing. Our workshops, books, videos, and eLearning courses empower you to use practical communication strategies intentionally and independently.
We believe that strategic writing is one of the most effective ways to meet goals and improve personal and professional relationships. We hope you’ll join our growing community on this path towards a world connected by thoughtful, intentional communication.
