Plain English Approach to Business Writing

Informationen zum Autor Edward P. Bailey, Jr is Professor of Business Writing at Marymount University. Klappentext Bailey's approach is surprisingly straightforward: just write as you would talk. Plain English is not only easier to read, it's also easier to write. And it's so effective that many large organizations are endorsing, if not demanding, its use in the workplace. Pithy and entertaining, Bailey clearly lays out the dos and don'ts of plain English, illustrating them with examples drawn from such sources as business documents, technical manuals, trade publications, and the works of such writers as Russell Baker and John D. MacDonald. From the basics to the fine tuning, he offers practical advice on clarity, precision, organization, layout, and a host of other topics. This is a book that can be read in an hour - and used for the rest of your life. Zusammenfassung This text offers a communications tool to improve the quality and clarity of the reader's (or their staff's) writing style. The author, who spent 20 years within the bastions of "bureaucratese", argues for writing as you would talk, asserting this leads to easier reading and easier writing.
