Write the way you talk so your writing sounds natural. Think of the reader's background and level of responsibility: make it easy for the reader to figure out why you are writing and what you want. Be concise and to the point: back up ideas and recommendations with facts and opinions. Fight writer's block by working on orderly flow and by making sure that you know all you need to write. Marcia Layton's humorously written, logically organized and well-indexed COMPLETE IDIOT'S GUIDE TO TERRIFIC BUSINESS WRITING jumpstarts just about every kind of writing around. Her book puts into practice Edward P. Bailey's THE PLAIN ENGLISH APPROACH TO BUSINESS WRITING, Robert W. Bly and Gary Blake's THE ELEMENTS OF BUSINESS WRITING, Richard B. Loth's HOW TO PROFIT FROM READING ANNUAL REPORTS, and Maryann V. Piotrowski's EFFECTIVE BUSINESS WRITING.

I am always writing on my job and sometimes I just didn't know who to start on certain types of documents. However, this book helped me a lot. Now at least I have the steps and guidance of this book to help me.

Ecrire c'est plus agreable lorsque l'ecrivain se sert du style parle. Les lecteurs comprennent plus facilement ce que vous dites. Ils sont en cas de faire ce que vous voulez d'eux. Ce qui leur plait aussi, c'est d'avoir, a leur portee, tous les faits et les statistiques. Mais au beau milieu du temps de la technologie, ils aiment surtout entendre la voix de l'ecrivain. Alors c'est toujours utile de laisser entendre votre avis.
