Course description
Better Business Writing
Business writing should not be boring, and neither should training in business writing. Writing business messages well is a service to readers, providing answers to critical questions, encouraging action and instilling confidence. Better Business Writing encourages participants to write clearly and concisely, taking into account current guidelines for usage, style, and punctuation. Building on these essentials, Better Business Writing also helps participants develop sentences, paragraphs, and entire documents with both the reader’s needs and the writer’s objectives in mind.
