Summary: Something for Everyone
Review: The introduction to The Writing Coach is inspiring. Lee Clark Johns is enthusiastic about her subject. She treats her subject with the care and skill of a fine novelist. She involves the reader in the subject matter from the very beginning and then leads the way to a great adventure for the business writing community. She adds just enough humor in sample writings to keep smiles on student faces. For those of us who are involved in the honorable profession of teaching English, an enthusiastic and inspired author becomes a silent team teaching member. Lee Clark Johns is just such an author in The Writing Coach. The material is pertinent to current business trends. Exercises present examples of documents from real world, office situations (some of them are quite funny and others leave the reader aghast, see page 13 memo) and challenge the learner to rewrite/reorganize the document to meet more current standards or more appropriate standards. These exercises are excellent in that they present learners with what not to do and then lead them to what they should do in a business-writing situation The Writing Coach content is current and up to date. It addresses issues with which the business community is confronted every day, and it demonstrates the techniques necessary to conquer these issues with aplomb. The Writing Coach has something for everyone and would definitely be an asset to my teaching library. I am pleased to have had the opportunity to meet Lee Clark Johns in the pages of this wonderful book.
