Business Writing Makeovers

About the Book

Do you want to save time and boost your career when you write at the office? Business Writing Makeovers: Shortcut Solutions to Improve Your Letters, E-Mails, and Faxes can help.

Hawley Roddick draws on her WriteAssets® seminars for Fortune 500 companies to suggest various ways to write for results. She demonstrates, for example, that it is easier than you may imagine to write requests for a raise or promotion, proposals and reports, thank-you or sympathy notes, meeting minutes, e-mails, and sales letters.

Business Writing Makeovers is a seminar in a book at a small fraction of a seminar’s cost in terms of both time and money. Each Shortcut Solution has four parts:

1. Original that needs improvement. 2. Formula that outlines the beginning, middle, and end of a makeover. 3. Makeover that improves on the Original and serves as a model. 4. Tip Sheet that highlights widely applicable writing techniques.

To meet typical business-writing challenges with style, rely on Business Writing Makeovers.
