emPOWERED Revising and Editing
$6.95

Writing well can be compared to building a house. First you lay a foundation, which consists of the main ideas you want to convey. Next you assemble the framework, which organizes your message. Then, you run the wiring and plumbing by filling in the details. Finally, you do the shingling and painting, finishing the piece with careful editing and proofreading.

Learning to revise and edit can mean the difference between a well-built piece of writing and a poorly constructed one. The emPOWERED Revising and Editing Job Aide shows you how to solidly build your own writing. It includes…

• A one-page overview of business-speak versus plain English
• A full-page table of common business-speak phrases and the plain-English counterparts you can use instead
• A one-page comparison of technical jargon and clearer language
• An overview of the dangers of slang along with examples and clear revisions
• A mini index showing where to learn more in the Write for Business book

Review this Job Aide during every writing task to ensure that your work is as solid as it should be. These reminders and tips can benefit every employee, and our low price makes it possible for everyone in your office to have a copy.

The emPOWERED Revising and Editing Job Aide is another fine product from UpWrite Press, the people whose only goal is to make writing work for you.
