Written content represents your company every day. The words on your website tell potential clients about your services. Precisely drafted reports and white papers can summarize months of work. Even the content of your employee handbook is vital to how your organization functions. For modern professionals, there is simply no room for ambiguous wording or glaring typos.

Six Simple Ways to Improve Your Professional Writing
 In the name of forgotten commas everywhere, the writers at Tripepi Smith would like to offer up a few simple guidelines that can improve almost any collection of written words.
- Be concise. A few, powerful words are much harder to write than hundreds of useless ones. Decide exactly what it is you're trying to say and stick to it.
- Always edit. Editing is how one turns a long, bloated white paper into a slick, to-the-point presentation of facts. As an exercise, next time you draft something for public consumption, try trimming your final word count by 50%. You'll be surprised how many words you don't need.
- Keep punctuation simple. Put a period at the end of every sentence, and a question mark at the end of every question. Resist the urge to drop colons, semi-colons, dashes and exclamation points where they're not really needed. More often than not, a good old sentence does the job just fine. Read more...
