"If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write.” - Stephen King

When we write well, we improve the bottom line. Why? We save time, frustration, and inconvenience; all of which represent costs. To understand what makes writers and their writing “good”, we need to ask the big question “What is writing?” Good writing is the note that attracts action and the letter that says what a phone call can’t. We write to explain subject matter, to smooth and strengthen relationships, and/or to persuade others of the value of some course of action and sometimes express dissatisfaction.

The business writing has tangible language, clear and concise point of view and opinion, and well explained points. Good writing requires passion, courteous attitude, a hard work to make writing clear, concise, complete, and correct, and easy to read. However, good writing needs practice to build confidence about your own writing. Even the best writer gets discourage to put in their best effort. We intervene to teach the habits of good professional writing. We aim to give participants the tools to become better writers.

• Learn the value of good written communication.
