Happiness comes when you work and words are of benefits to yourself and others - Budda
Words are the meaning for which communication takes root. With the ease of email, fax,
and overnight delivery millions of correspondence is generated and sent each day. What
people don't realize is the letters, memos, and emails you send become a reflection on
you as an individual. Those who hastily send correspondence are doing themselves an
injustice for they are not presenting their best effort, that could come back to haunt
them later in life.
With competition at an all time high, it is imperative that you make each word count.
Whether you are a writer or not self-editing is a skill each individual needs in order
to survive in today's ever changing society. This skill cannot be obtained in any college
classroom or all day seminar. It is one that comes with much practice and the right type
of instruction. Dawn Josephson & Lauren Hidden have combined their talents to write a
very effective book. Write It Right: The Ground Rules for Self-Editing Like the Pros
is a must have to acquire this much needed skill.
What I found so unique about this book is the individual attention it focuses on the
reader. It first tests the individual to pinpoint their weaknesses. Once it is identified,
they show you how you can conquer these unknown vices and replace them with smoothly polished
grammar habits.
This small book offers a tremendous wealth of advice that can appeal to any individual.
Its thought-provoking context will give you an up close and personal look into your own
writing style. Very highly recommended.
