Published in various forms, which consist of books, ebooks, literary journals, digital and online outlets, and magazines. Soon will be produced through entertainment outlets such as feature films and made-for-TV movies.
Topic: Business Writings that Work as Hard as You
Typical business writings include e-mails, proposals, business letters, reports, and more. But the world of business writing has expanded to include new forms such as e-newletters, blog posts, articles, books, and more. How does one know what new forms to incorporate in business and how can one include new writings without putting in more work hours?
In her presentation titled, Business Writings that Work as Hard as You author, Ann Fields discussed:
1. The new forms of business writing;
