Successful Business Writing. How to Write Business Letters, Emails, Reports, Minutes and for Social Media. Improve Your English Writing and Grammar. I (Skills Training Course) Paperback – Illustrated, February 29, 2012

I am enjoying this. It is really helping me out at work with formatting different documents and other things I am doing.

Great theoretical knowledge but I wish the author would give more samples/examples of the actual letters, emails communications in the book so that I could make copies of those and teach in my class.

I found the guide useful as it gave steps and revisions on the importance of making a point, providing facts and using positive written language for the purpose of logical and persuasive communication. All important when using the shorthand of less formal writing often used in email and the more formal adoption of paragraphing and sequence of points in business writing. The grammar revision has been most helpful.

I am often amazed at the poor writing skills displayed on so many websites, letters and business emails - poor spelling, poor grammar, presenting such an unprofessional image.This book manages to pack-in so much information, from how to set out a letter or email, to exercises helping you improve your grammar. And it's great having the free workbook from the UoL website.

A concise easy read with great techniques and examples of how to construct business letters and emails. Can definitely recommend.

I enjoyed the content of the book. However, a key factor they mentioned was the use of grammar, punctuation and good language...there were plenty of grammar mistakes I caught (i.e. missing words, etc.).

Really good book. It is simple to read and has a lot of really good information. Most business owners would find it helpful.

Success Business Writing will help anyone looking for tips and tricks to write better in business situations. Some of the best advice comes right at the beginning of the book. Agreeing why good business writing is important and understanding the barriers to good communication are the foundation to successful writing. The three Ps are also critical: Purpose, People, and Preparation. I particularly appreciate Chapter 7, Guidelines for good writing, as these are essential for effective written communication whether you are a native speaker or someone writing in English as a foreign language.
