If you write well, you will often do well. It's that simple. But many of us haven't taken a writing course since high school or college. When we sit down to write, we confront a frustrating, time-consuming task. Words and meaning elude us. Precious hours march by as we stare at a blank computer screen. Don't despair. You don't have to be a best-selling author to write clearly and effectively. You just need to follow the program in Writing for Business Results.

This clear-cut, non-threatening approach gives you the principles you need to make your writing powerful, interesting and relevant to the reader.

You'll improve all aspects of your business writing - from memos to e-mails to detailed annual reports - by learning how to:

• Put the "Five C's" of effective writing to work
• Create a plan for letters, memos and e-mail
• Keep your messages short and simple
• Grab your readers with a strong opening line
• Provide the detail needed to support your writing
• Apply the Six Principles of The Writer's Edge

Sharpen your pencils, fire up your computer, and write for results! This new training program comes complete with a DVD, CD audio and copy of the book Writing for Business Results by Patricia E. Seraydarian, which is part of the Business Skills Express Series published by The McGraw-Hill Companies.
25 minutes.
