Review:

Write for Business is concise, well-organized, and readable... making it a friendly, trusted tool. The up-to-date content and design of Write for Business make it worthy of clearing my desk of all other reference books on writing. --Heidi J. Mosher, Marketing Coordinator, Holland Home

Thankfully one company has finally put it all together grammar, writing mechanics, diction in one easy-to-read, easy-to-use reference work.... From e-mail to business proposals to student essays to thesis proofreading, UpWrite Press really hit a home run. --Kyle Kendall, Spanish Professor, UW-Sheboygan
