Description

Professional Writing Skills: A Write It Well Guide leads you through Write It Well’s time-tested, six-step planning process for any business writing. The process will help you write business letters, memos, e-mail, and other documents that persuade and inform—clearly, concisely, and professionally. This new edition provides more tips and tools for writing better e-mail, as well as expanded sections on grammar and punctuation—great for learning and for reference.

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

It’s really important to write clearly, concisely, and professionally if you want to be competitive in today’s business environment.  I consider this book to be one of my essential sales tools.

—Amanda Noguera, Regional Sales Director, AVOKE Caller Experience Analytics, BBN Technologies

For the past 15 years, we have counted on Write It Well’s Professional Writing Skills program to improve the writing skills of our employees.  Good business writing skills are critical for effective communications, as well as for career enhancement.

—Aileen Evans, Organizational Effectiveness Manager, Port of Oakland

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.

—Michelle Meyers, Associate Editor, CNET News
