Writing Tips

Don’t put barriers between you and your audience. Use words to communicate and not to erect obstacles. For example, if you were handing a business associate a letter, you wouldn’t say “please find enclosed herewith the aforementioned document”.

This is the kind of language we think we have to use in business, but all it does is distance you from your readers.

Think what you would say if the people you wanted to communicate with were standing in front of you.

Consider the message you want to get across, their level of knowledge, and the impression you want them to be left with.
