Have you ever been concerned when you have to write a company report? Do you think that your writing is too wordy or too technical? Do you wish that you could be more concise or more tuned into your audience? Those are some of the questions Word Time! answers. The book is based on Elizabeth's years of working students and business professionals and on the notion that clear writing still matters in the workplace. In part because of the speed of electronic communication, many of us have forgotten or need to be reminded of some of the basics of punctuation, grammar, and style, so we can write clear, credible, effective emails, reports, resumes, and design memorable PowerPoint --with greater ease. Like its companion Show Time!, about effective speaking, Word Time! is a short, practical guide to help build or rebuild your confidence in your writing skills.
