It’s believed that the first form of writing dates back to Mesopotamia with the invention of the cuneiform script. Of course, writing has evolved over many years, as each language has developed its own writing style and rules.

When it comes to writing in English, there’s a lot more to it than just putting pen to paper. There are rules, exceptions, and structures that one must learn to write proficiently, and that’s where our writing lessons can help.
