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.” “I first noticed the maps. Not many general introductions to business writing have maps. That simple difference made me look at the overall organization and the content. I noted the sparse nature of the book - it's not an exhaustive reference but instead a lively and modern overview of business writing. I use the book with my adult students in a postsecondary career program. They appreciate the direct presentation of descriptive rules, each with at least one example (well picked, often clever). They always laugh at the juxtaposition of the examples for capitalization of organizations: “Toledo Mud Hens, American Indian Movement, and Republican Party.” The book is definitely friendly and relevant for adults. My appreciation to Meyer, Sebranek and VanRys, and to Upwrite Press for this compact guide to writing.” |
