Highlights
Nine chapters on common professional documents-letters, memos, news and feature stories, interviews, biographical sketches, press releases, flyers, brochures, reports, proposals, instructions, manuals, agendas, minutes, and resumes-introduce writers to essential formats and provide strategies for writing clearly, concisely, and persuasively.
54 workplace documents, many annotated, offer examples of real-world writing that follow and adapt the conventions of common business formats.
"Writer’s Guide" (chapter 10) gives nuts-and-bolts advice about using punctuation and documentation, avoiding libel and plagiarism, and writing with a computer.
"Editing" (chapter 11) helps writers enliven, tighten, and polish their prose.
A resource chapter points readers to more in-depth, specialized reference manuals.
