Better Business Writing
BWD provides professional development for teams and individuals
Good business writing is easy to read, but the hardest copy to write. In a time-poor world, clear and engaging writing is vital if you want to influence and motivate your audience – and avoid the junk folder.
Business writers sometimes blame the lack of interest in their writing on the dry topics they tackle. That’s just an excuse. Any issue can be fascinating if expressed clearly and well.
You don’t need to be a professional writer or creative talent to access the power and richness of the English language.
