"Writing in plain language is not something they teach you in school. But it is an art and a science, and you can learn how to do it and apply it so you can write for results. this book provides a step-by-step, example-filled guide to the critical aspects of writing in plain language-the type to writing people understand and to which they respond favorably. Good writers are made, not born. The examples and information in this book will guide you along the process of becoming one of those "good" writers, and you may even find yourself looking forward to your next writing project."--Back cover.
