Here’s what the reviewers are saying:
Most of our employees—engineers, developers, product managers, marketing staff—were never taught how to write professionally; they were just thrown into it. This book offers people what they need to get their point across clearly and present a professional image of themselves and our corporation in everything they write.
—Jocelyn King, Director, Worldwide Marketing Operations, National Semiconductor Corporation

I wish I could get each and every one of our reporters to read Professional Writing Skills. Even as trained writers, they could benefit from its useful and easy-to-remember tips. The book’s for anyone, really. It answers many of our everyday writing questions in simple language without getting bogged down by daunting grammar and style rules. And it offers clear plans off action for those who might get overwhelmed by the writing process.
