(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 08, 2009 ) Seattle, WA – Today more than ever, professionals need excellent business communication skills. Employees and managers must be able to communicate skillfully with customers, team members, and vendors across the street and around the globe. To help professionals take their writing from so-so to superior, Lynn Gaertner-Johnston, writing expert and founder of Syntax Training, has created a new business writing guide, “Clarity, Conciseness, Zing, and More: 262 Ways to Take Business Writing Beyond the Basics” (http://syntaxtraining.com/clarity.html).

The 70-page guide contains 27 articles filled with practical tips, steps, and strategies to help managers and employees write well. “People who enroll in our business writing classes tell me they want to write more efficiently, confidently, persuasively, and correctly to succeed on the job or in a job search,” says Gaertner-Johnston. “I shaped the contents of the guide to help people meet those goals without having to spend time or money on a business writing class or wade through a thick writing manual.”

In “Clarity, Conciseness, Zing, and More” business writers learn to:
--Apply specific techniques to write concisely without sounding abrupt.
--Organize complex information clearly and easily.
--Proofread better by applying the secrets of professional proofreaders.
--Ignore out-of-date and incorrect writing rules to create fresh, correct messages.
--Write positively and persuasively to get the job, contract, contribution, or approval.

The new guide is available from Syntax Training for $39.95 in a spiral-bound version, spiral-bound version printed on recycled paper, or PDF. Companies may license the rights to print the guide or post it on their intranet to improve business writing throughout the organization.
