Principles of
Business Writing
|
Your
documents, especially your letters and e-mails, are the ambassadors of your organization. Do you know what
they're saying about you?
Are your
documents sending the right message to your readers? Is the
message one of total quality throughout your organization? Do your
documents
reinforce that image . . . or do they detract from it?
How
much time do you and your staff spend creating letters, memos, reports, or e-mails?
Do
you write as you were taught in school, perhaps pursuing elegance at the
expense of readability and comprehension? Do you write and rewrite,
and still end up with documents that don't work as you intended?

Many thanks for your
thoughtful critique of one of my half-year client letters. All
points have been re-read with interest and are entirely clear to
me. There is nothing like reviewing one's own style through the
eyes of the recipient, which you did in depth. Thanks for the
great effort!

What can
The Grammar Goddess do for you?
I
can show
you how to create professional documents -- every time! You and your staff
will learn how to
format correctly, how to write for your reader(s), and how to
get the results you expect and need.
It all
starts with sample letters, memos, reports, or e-mails --
whatever the participants usually write -- that you send
to me. From these
and conversations with you and/or other decision makers, I
construct a program tailored to your needs. I use your
language, your jargon, and your issues (view
sample workbook page) to make everything relevant to those who attend
the workshop from your firm.
To view the sample
page, you will need Adobe Acrobat.

free!
Some of the topics we can cover in a highly interactive one-day seminar include:
|
|
Organizing
material before writing |
|
|
Creating
parallel structure |
|
|
Understanding
power language |
|
|
Using
active and passive voice effectively |
|
|
Replacing
smothered verbs with power verbs |
|
|
Using
the optimum number of words in sentences and paragraphs |
|
|
Eliminating
redundancies and jargon |
|
|
Preparing
professional-looking memos, letters, and reports |
If the
documents in your organization don't reflect the quality
of the work behind them, this program will get you back on
track.
