About this title

Synopsis

OMG: Don't write like you talk! We live in a culture saturated by improper English and grammar where continual text messages, incoherent posts on Twitter or Facebook, and poorly written emails pass as writing. Well, time to toss out those embarrassing grammar errors and change your 'naughty' (a.k.a., lazy) writing ways.

Smart Girls ready to improve their writing will not only laugh their way through this funny, entertaining and informative book, but also learn tips, tricks and insight to:
Stand out from the spelling- and grammar-error crowd and earn a promotion
Earn the respect of their peers with beautifully written emails
Polish writing skills enough to write their own versions of Sex in the City

Don't Write Like You Talk helps writers of all skill levels understand basic principles to improve all writing, from emails to blogs - and from short stories to novels. Using fun, sassy and useful examples, Don't Write Like You Talk provides tools to polish your writing - or just look really smart. This is the book to own: a copy to adorn your office; a copy for your library; a copy for your dorm room; or even a copy for the bathroom shelf. So put a little moxie back into your writing and purchase a copy today.

Turn offs - mean people, screaming babies on airplanes and 'where you at?'
Turn ons - international travel, wine, new books, my Kindle, books on wine and travel, used books, oh, and my husband complains that he's never featured in one of my books.
