117 easy tips for getting your message across every time you write!

Here is all our experience of writing in plain English - condensed into a 27-page booklet that will fit into your pocket or bag. Too busy even to work through our on-line course? Then our 'tips booklet' is the answer.

This product also comes as an e-booklet and as a CD-ROM to install on your intranet

Here's more information about what the tips booklet covers:

- what do we mean by plain English?
- what plain English isn't
- why use plain English?
- using everyday words
- keeping sentences short and workable
- being human when we write
- using active verbs (don't worry, it's easy)
- punctuating properly
- avoiding grammatical errors
- design tips
- how to introduce plain English into your organisation . . .

. . . and much, much more!

There are practical examples throughout, to illustrate and explain how to apply plain English to your own writing.

Customised booklets for your organisation

It is very easy for us to supply customised booklets to your own specification. This can be as simple as having your organisation's logo on the cover. Or you can use the booklet to get your own message across to customers or staff - perhaps because of a new customer care initiative, or a drive for clearer communication. So you may want your own introduction and even to add tips of your own that are specific to your business. Please ask us for more details. Booklets are also a great way to promote your business!
