DESCRIPTION:The sweet sound of writing finesse\nOliver Lawrence\, Italy\nIn
  this world of hurriedly written\, poorly edited or machine-translated fla
 m\, there’s an aspect of wordsmithery that can help your work stand out.\n
 Euphonics. \nThe ability\, that is\, to write not just clearly and incisiv
 ely but melodiously\, too. If we can craft texts that sound sublime\, then
  we’ll be doing that bit more to seduce our readers\, delight our clients 
 and – why not? – spread a little verbal happiness. \nThat doesn’t mean ove
 rdoing it with the frills\; rather\, it’s about cultivating a sensibility 
 to sound and rhythm\, assonance and emphasis\, a feel for when you need an
  extra beat in the bar\, another adjective before that noun\, or a volley 
 of stressed syllables to ram a point home. It’s about exploiting the reson
 ances alive in tinny t’s or luxuriant l’s or bumbling b’s. Not childish on
 omatopoeia or titillating tabloid alliteration but … euphony. \nWith a ble
 nd of presented and hands-on material for you to grapple with\, this works
 hop aims to attune attendees to the nuances of rhythm\, sounds and pattern
 s of echoes. To turn piffle into – well\, if not poetry then something eas
 ier on the ear. \n \nAbout the presenter\n \nOliver Lawrence turns Italian
  marketing texts and\, occasionally\, writing briefs into incisive English
 \, specialising in tourism\, leisure and luxury. Much of his editing and t
 ranslation work involves damping down faintly cacophonous glitches that fo
 ul the flow of what should be smooth high-end copy. A Fellow of the CIOL\,
  Chartered Linguist\, ITI Assessor and strolling conference presenter\, am
 ong other things\, he teaches the CIOL web-based Clear Writing course – no
 w in its 8th edition – and lurks online at www.incisiveenglish.pro and @ol
 iverlawrence1. Interests include poetry\, cake and gin\, but not necessari
 ly in that order. https://www.sense-online.nl/events/workshops-events/even
