Sessions & Seminars

Didactics at the San Diego Writers Institute LLC are split between lessons on style and lessons on writing (articles, books, manuscripts, and professional communications). All lessons are taught by Naveed and based on his works The Complete Guide to Article Writing (F+W Media/Writer's Digest Books) and The Writer’s Guide to Self-Editing (McFarland).

Naveed is widely recognized for his revolutionary approach to writing instruction. Among other roles, he's a consultant with Writer's Digest and course developer and instructor at Writer's Digest University. He is also a senior feature editor at the fifth largest newspaper in the world. His insights are both astute and easily understood. If you have a strong desire to learn how to write better, you should participate in custom one-on-one instruction or the basic seminar series.

Attendees who successfully complete the one-on-one instruction or the basic seminar series receive a letter of certification from the San Diego Writers Institute LLC and are invited to participate in the advanced seminar series.

One-on-one instruction is held remotely throughout the year.
