Summary: A Hard Day's Write
Review: Write the way you talk so your writing sounds natural. Think of the reader's background and level of responsibility: make it easy for the reader to figure out why you are writing and what you want. Be concise and to the point: back up ideas and recommendations with facts and opinions. Fight writer's block by working on orderly flow and by making sure that you know all you need to write. Marcia Layton's humorously written, logically organized and well-indexed COMPLETE IDIOT'S GUIDE TO TERRIFIC BUSINESS WRITING jumpstarts just about every kind of writing around. Her book puts into practice Edward P. Bailey's THE PLAIN ENGLISH APPROACH TO BUSINESS WRITING, Robert W. Bly and Gary Blake's THE ELEMENTS OF BUSINESS WRITING, Richard B. Loth's HOW TO PROFIT FROM READING ANNUAL REPORTS, and Maryann V. Piotrowski's EFFECTIVE BUSINESS WRITING.
