It’s an exciting and busy time for W.O.R.D. Ink. We are in the midst of expanding our company services, employee base, and client reach. Amidst the buzz, Team Ink needs to honor personal, familial, and additional career commitments. For that reason, we’ve decided to scale back our W.O.R.D. of the Week blog from weekly to biweekly posts for the time being, so that we can maintain a steady stream of useful content while simultaneously focusing on other aspects of professional and personal growth.
W.O.R.D. of the Week blog will still focus on our 4 themes (Write, Observe, Revise, Discover), but these themes will not be designated to a particular Tuesday of each month. You will, however, see more voices on the blog from our team members, and the blog will continue as a hub of valuable, shareable content.

Parents, when was the last time YOU took a private course on a topic that really interested you?
Our customized BIY courses could be the perfect way to keep you + your K-12 students engaged in learning, while receiving feedback that maximizes potential!
W.O.R.D. Ink’s BIY workshops are one-to-one or small-group 1-2 week courses run by our field experts and customized to fit participants’ exact interests, age and ability levels, as well as schedules. Each takes place in the comfort of your home. Workshops can run for 2-6 hours each day within a week, or on a desired schedule (ex: consecutive Saturdays or MWF over a few weeks.)
