28 Days to Better Business Writing

The fear of writing ranks right up there with the fear of public speaking (which, in some studies, even outranks the fear of death!). Many people are afraid to communicate on paper. They are afraid they will be misunderstood or, worse yet, ridiculed for poor writing ability. However, writing is nothing more than organizing & putting thoughts on paper. What frequently happens is that people get caught up in the 'mechanics' of writing. They forget that they are writing to do one thing - communicate. The purpose of 28 DAYS TO BETTER BUSINESS WRITING is to help readers break some of the mental barriers which may have prevented them from writing with ease. They'll discover new ways to view the writing process for a variety of needs. Plus, the technical aspects of writing are presented as non-technical, easy-to-follow procedures. By tackling these principles one day at a time, readers should be able to enhance & expand their business writing ability in just 28 days.
