Customer Reviews

A Good Read!

If you're an exec whose position requires any writing at all, it might occur to you that before you write an article or a speech you should jump on the Internet and do a thorough topic search - an original suggestion from author Stephen Spignesi. Thanks. You might even already know that you have to check reference materials at the library - another handy nugget of advice. But if your background is in technical expertise, not in word crafting, and you find yourself responsible for actually writing things - a prospect as enticing to you as root canal - then this book is for you. It organizes ideas concisely and simply (Almost too simply: Any sixth grader could use it). While some content appeals only to freelancers (Like a talk with a publishing house acquisitions editor), we [...] recommend the guidance and direction this book gives to would-be or must-be writers who are uncomfortable with writing. You know who you are.
