Effective Business Writing in easy steps
About this book
The ability to communicate in writing is one of the most effective and key business skills. Whether you're drafting a lengthy company report or sending a short email to colleagues, it's vital to get it right.

Effective Business Writing in easy steps is the ideal guide for anyone who needs guidance with writing in the workplace. Its clear, concise, easy-to-read style means that you'll soon master the fundamental skills to communicate effectively in business. It covers the basic tools such as plain English, vocabulary, spelling, punctuation and grammar, to preparing and checking your presentation, then how to put it into practice when writing documents such as letters, emails, notes, reports and speeches and many more.
