Review:

The book's for anyone, really. It answers many of our everyday writing questions in simple language without getting bogged down by daunting grammar and style rules. And it offers clear plans of action for those who might get overwhelmed by the writing process. I wish I could get each and every one of our reporters to read Professional Writing Skills. Even as trained writers, they could benefit from its useful and easy-to-remember tips. --Michelle Meyers, Associate Editor, CNET News

Most of our employees - engineers, developers, product mangers, marketing staff - were never taught to write professionally. They were just thrown into it. This book offers people what they need to get their point across clearly and present a professional image of themselves and of our corporation in everything they write. --Jocelyn King, Director, Worldwide Marketing Operations, National Semiconductor Corporation

It's very important to write clearly, concisely, and professionally if you want to be competitive in today's business environment. I consider this book to be one of my essential sales tools. --Amanda Noguera, Regional Sales Director, AVOKE Caller Experience Analytics, BBN Technologies
