Designed for courses in Technical or Report Writing in Departments of English, Engineering, or Technology.
For more than 30 years, Technically-Write! has been Canada's best-selling technical writing text. Using a comprehensive, "on-the-job" approach, Technically-Write! explores the most effective techniques for written and oral communication in today's business world. Co-authors Ron Blicq and Lisa Moretto have thoroughly revised the sixth edition to more accurately reflect the techniques used to write in today's professional world. Technically-Write! covers all aspects of technical correspondence, report writing, oral communication, and the job-seeking process. It features Blicq's well-established "pyramid" technique -- a unique method for organizing letters, reports, and proposals -- that helps students structure their documents to grab and maintain a reader's attention. Together, the updated content and the acclaimed "pyramid" technique further strengthen a text that has helped a generation of Canadian technical writers overcome the frustration of "writer's block."
