Natalie Canavor and Claire Meirowitz have written a 208 page guide on The Truth About The New Rules Of Business Writing. Together they are the founders of C&M Business Writing Services. Their knowledge on communicating what you mean to get what you want is written in a compact, easy to use guide book. The book is divided into 52 truths about writing, each truth "chapter" being a mere two or three pages long. This book is a perfect example of the authors doing as they teach. They teach you to write in a simplified, organized, to the point structure, just as the book is written in.
This book is not just for business communications, but can be used literally for ever type of written communication you can think of. For a strong resume, the authors say to focus on your accomplishments, not your responsibilities, because everyone has responsibilities, but not everyone has accomplishments. Re-writing in shorter sentences is important as less is always more. The details of the past are no longer important in a fast, high tech world. They point out that when you write, all cues of your voice, facial expression and body language are missing, so it's important to develop being truthful in words without seeing the person's response. However, you must never write something too personal, as anything too personal is best said in person, where you can see the person's response. This book is packed with this type of great advice on writing.
From emails, business letters, personal letters, texting, writing articles to every form of written communications, the tips to better writing are all here in the simplest book I have ever read. All 52 of the Truth Chapters are worth their weight in gold, as in Truth 27, Letters do build relationships and in Truth 17, the best writers don't write, they re-write. Writing as if you are speaking is the best communication and with this great, short, to the point guide, it makes it easy! This small book gets a big 5 stars
