Welcome to the Tactical Writing Academy!
I’m Greg Rosenthal, the academy’s founder.
Our hard-driving, no-fluff videos teach tactics for tight writing. When your writing's tight, your text is concise and engaging. People get your message the first they read it.
I should know. I have more than 14 years of experience as a government communications professional and freelance writer and editor. Over the years, I have written and edited a massive quantity of high-quality products, including:
- Articles
- Blog posts
- Website text
- Speeches
- Flyers and brochures
- Radio and video scripts
- Ebooks
Our videos share the writing tactics, plain language principles, and best practices I’ve learned over the years. I’ve honed them by hacking and slashing the writing of medical professionals, lawyers, scientists, and bureaucrats into something regular people can understand. I hold a B.A. in hearing and speech sciences (Univ. of MD at College Park) and a B.A. in communication studies (Univ. of MD Univ. College, Adelphi, MD).
My son Mitch collaborates on these videos. He applies his analytical mind and verbal prowess to these lessons, helping to make them short, tight, and clear. He earned an engineering degree with a minor in communications (Univ. of MD at College Park), combining two talents rarely seen in one person.
Mitch is also passionate about finance and created and authored StockMarketSkills.com.
