Write It Well

Instructors

Here’s your opportunity to prepare students ahead of time for the demands of the business world. 

Write It Well’s workbooks provide the right structure for classroom learning; the perfect mix of process, examples, and exercises create interaction, dialogue and teachable moments. Our workbooks, including Professional Writing Skills and E-Mail: A Write It Well Guide, have been adopted as primary and/or supplementary texts for upper-division college and graduate communications courses in leading universities.

Looking for a business writing program?

Consider adopting Professional Writing Skills because:

• This book walks students through a clearly defined six-step process for writing any business document.
• The program engages students by having them work on a piece of their own writing. Instead of just showing the dos and don’ts, the program teaches students by having them complete the process on their own.
• Students will learn the differences between writing at work and writing for school; how to think about their audience and answer their questions; how to organize the information; and how to use concise, clear, descriptive language. Your students will learn what professionals learn in expensive seminars!
• Professional Writing Skills has been in print – and regularly updated – for almost twenty years.
