Business Writing Skills - How to Sharpen Up Your Style

Introduction

There is a presumption in business that the first draft of everything is 20% too long at least.

We all pick up odd writing habits, sometimes from academic textbooks, sometimes from our supervisors at work. Verbose writing may lead to lost messages, misunderstandings and lost work opportunities.

This virtual classroom seminar will help you learn how to edit out superfluous words and generally sharpen up your writing style.
