From large corporations to one-person shops, good communication is
essential to all businesses of any size. Workplace writing must be
clear, concise, and descriptive to avoid confusion and to ensure
successful daily interactions. However, you do not have to be a
novelist to produce illustrative business writing. "Creative
Business Writing" teaches uncreative people how to use expository
writing skills to produce detailed and descriptive workplace
documents. Other techniques from journalism and college composition
are also introduced to expand and enhance technical reports, such
as grant proposals or everyday writing like emails. Overall,
readers will build confidence in developing informative and
engaging business documents by using a variety of expository
writing techniques.
Before students can write successful classroom assignments, they
must know grammar. "Student Success Grammar Skills," makes it easy
for middle school, high school, college students and adult learners
to improve their language and writing abilities. In this book,
students learn to effectively put words and phrases together before
tackling essays, research papers, and other longer, written
documents. "Student Success Grammar Skills," features plain English
explanations, knowledge checks, and chapter exercises to reinforce
learning. Any student, parent, teacher or self-directed learner can
benefit from the grammar lessons covered in this book.
Dating can be fun and exciting, especially when it leads to new
romance. However, with social media and phone apps, dating can be a
little dangerous. Along with what to say and what to wear, today's
modern women need to know when to leave a date or a relationship
that is turning sour. This book helps single women of all ages
protect their bodies, minds, and spirits while increasing their
abilities to choose dates and mates more wisely. "Girl Please, Know
when to Let that Man Go" offers 100 signs of bad behavior that
answer two important questions: How do I know when to stop dating
someone? What are the signs I should look out for? Plain and
simple. As you read through the book, picture your cool mother,
worldly aunt, sassy grandmother or quirky best friend giving you
some 'real, talk' advice on how to survive and thrive in today's
dating scene.
Good writing starts with good grammar. How comfortable are you with
your grammar skills? "Grammar Essentials for Proofreading,
Copyediting & Business Writing" focuses on the grammar and
usage topics you need to quickly improve your writing skills for
personal and business success. You learn how to correct common
grammar errors like fragments, run-ons and comma splices, while
answering usage concerns such as when to use "who" or "whom," or
what words to capitalize or abbreviate. Each chapter ends with
practical exercises.
What is urban grammar? You hear it on television shows, social
media and in everyday conversation. It is the pervasive
non-standard use of the English language that defies all rules of
good grammar. Rememorable or memorable? Sticked or stuck? Unlegal
or illegal? Worser or worse? Learn commonly misused,
misinterpreted, mispronounced or misspelled words and how to
correct them according to standard English conventions. Remember,
good communication begins with good grammar.
Do you know what you want to say, but just can't find the words?
When you start to write, do you struggle to get words on paper?
Words in. Words out. To speak and write effectively, you must learn
more words. At work, school or in everyday life, you must write
something-an email, a report or a note on the bathroom stall.
Expanding your vocabulary helps words to flow easily from your mind
to a blank page, and improves your overall communication skills.
"Everyday Vocabulary" features words that are commonly found in
business writing, academic books, and standardized tests, such as
the TABE and GED assessments. After completing twenty-five lessons
of ten words each, you will add 250 words to your vocabulary, which
increases your ability to express yourself faster and more
effectively.
Adult Learner Grammar Essentials teaches you to effectively correct
the most common grammar errors encountered in academic and
professional writing. With self-study quizzes, plain English
explanations and real-world examples, you will improve your grammar
skills in just minutes a day. In addition to grammar fundamentals,
learn to correct advanced grammar concerns, such as who versus
whom, and whether or not to end a sentence with a preposition,
including punctuation essentials. Upon completing the pre-test and
post-test, and all the exercises in between, you will clearly
understand how to apply good grammar usage to your everyday writing
assignments.
Can you catch mistakes in your own writing? Can you identify and
correct common writing errors? Would you like to become an
effective proofreader for personal growth or profit? Before you
write a book, launch a business or start a side-hustle, you must
learn to produce error-free writing. "Proofreading Power: Skills
& Drills" provides essential rules, guidelines and tips to
quickly boost your editing prowess. Train your eye to catch
mistakes in the smallest of details with practical exercises on
grammar, mechanics, usage, punctuation and spelling. Try your hand
at correcting everyday writing samples, such as essay responses,
job descriptions, business letters, and blog articles.
