Prolific writers like William Shakespeare, James Patterson, and J.K Rowling make writing look easy.

Truth is, it's anything but. Between finding a unique, zippy opener to decoding a jumble of thoughts and emotions into clean, concise prose, the whole process can be grueling. Yes, even for professional writers. And when it comes to writing persuasively? Forget about it. The only persuading you're good at is convincing yourself to order in pizza and binge-watch The Office for the umpteenth time, right?

Well, that's all about to change. As a writing tutor at Cambridge University, Clare Lynch knows a thing or two about good writing and has developed an online course dedicated to making you a better writer.

"Writing With Impact: Writing That Persuades" features 5.5 hours of on-demand videos and 30 articles, and will teach you the nuts and bolts of persuasive writing. Lynch will share insider tips on everything from creating succinct sentences to editing your work, as well as sharing the latest in neuroscience that can make your prose more persuasive. With over 2,000 positive reviews, you're bound to learn something new.

Lifetime access to "Writing With Impact: Writing That Persuades" is normally valued at $199.99, but for the next few days, it's just $9.99. So whether you're looking to start a blog, improve your business proposals at work, or simply fine tune your writing skills, what's the harm in trying it out?
