THE WRITE STUFF

This new and expanded edition of The Write Stuff written by Bittie Viljoen-Smook , Dave Dykman and Johan Geldenhuys, makes it even easier to communicate meaningfully and effectively. In addition, this handy reference is now even more user friendly owing to the simple layout and examples clearly shown in grey.

Expanded to include the concepts of plain language and globlish (or is it globish?) as well as many examples to facilitate understanding and application, this treasure chest of gems also helps you test your knowledge through a number of added activities, with answers at the end of the guide.

As business-writing style, tone, manner, conventions and best practice are constantly changing, The Write Stuff comes as a handy and concise update for everybody who writes. Everything is accessible through an expanded and easy-to-use index.
