    About this ebook

    The Secrets of Business Writing Success

    If writing is any part of your job, you owe it to yourself to figure out how to get it done consistently, efficiently, and successfully.

    This book covers the business communication skills no one teaches you in writing class:

    • How to collaborate effectively with stakeholders or subject matter experts
    • Why the style guide is your friend, and how to create one for your business
    • The most efficient way to approach revision
    • How to set up your projects to sail through reviews and approvals

    The Workplace Writer's Process is filled with actionable advice that you can use immediately to finish more projects in less time and create content that fuels your career success.

     

    The Workplace Writer's Process won a 2018 IndieReader Discovery Award for Nonfiction, and was named one of the Best Business Writing Books of all time by BookAuthority.

      This is a great how-to book written in simple English with lots of super practical tips. I love the way Anne Janzer describes best practice processes for planning, writing, editing, delegating and other tasks and then quietly picks out common problems and offers solutions. If I’d read this twenty years ago, she would have saved me a lot of pain!I’ve been a freelancer for decades and have been rethinking some of my processes recently in order to fit in with new markets. This was a very useful overview and it’s given me some good ideas for preventing problems.The Workplace Writer’s Process by Anne Janzer is brilliant. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to write: college students, managers, bloggers and fiction authors included.I received this book from the publisher via Net Galley and am reviewing voluntarily
