Based on handouts I've developed in offering seminars to more than
10,000 writers in a variety of
organizations and businesses,
your guides
offer an easy, convenient way to improve your writing at your own pace, with
links to quick-reference writing
checklists, exercises, and columns, all packaged in a single PDF document.
You may
also purchase your
guide for your personal use by using PayPal (below) or by mailing a check to Good Writing for Good Results, 4828 Tenth Avenue South,

Topics, Tips, & Exercises

Key Concepts &
Approaches
1.
Look; don’t guess (when you’re unsure of a language rule, use
your
resources).
2. Evaluate the
effectiveness of a document (and your overall effectiveness as a
writer) according to
five elements of effective writing.
3. Know your
strengths and weaknesses (and do something about your
weaknesses).
4. Keep track of your
habitual errors.
5. Use
a three-step approach to organize your
messages (and your
paragraphs).
6.
Proofread by making multiple passes through a document,
moving from larger to smaller issues.
7. Improve your skills
over time by setting reasonable goals and taking the first
step right away.
