Pros: This book is insightful。 I work in a field where we must show respect to our patrons， but we seem to do everything but this when it comes to addressing individuals。 For instance， our badges display our preferred pronouns， but this is not the case for the public。 In the book， there is still no clear guidance on how to address this "upcoming" issue。 It was nice to get reminders on how to navigate office politics nowadays。 We all could use a reminder periodically to stay current。 Well， this b Pros: This book is insightful。 I work in a field where we must show respect to our patrons， but we seem to do everything but this when it comes to addressing individuals。 For instance， our badges display our preferred pronouns， but this is not the case for the public。 In the book， there is still no clear guidance on how to address this "upcoming" issue。 It was nice to get reminders on how to navigate office politics nowadays。 We all could use a reminder periodically to stay current。 Well， this book addresses that and so much more。 I learned new techniques that I will implement in my workspace， like repetition， proofreading， and separating information for clarity。 We are all in a rush， but the difference in our appearance is noticing when we take care of the writing material we deliver。 The author wrote an excellent book that will be a great addition to library shelves。 Cons: I am a visual person， and having graphic examples would have been nice。 。。。more

I read this book as I needed to write a proposal that stood out from the competition。 My prior proposals were following a stale format。 So as I read through I put everything relevant into practice。The result was a professional presentation that gained comments internally。 I don't know if it got us the business as we are waiting for news from the client。I found the book to be very straightforward and provided good insights that got me going through old reports and proposals and realising how bad I read this book as I needed to write a proposal that stood out from the competition。 My prior proposals were following a stale format。 So as I read through I put everything relevant into practice。The result was a professional presentation that gained comments internally。 I don't know if it got us the business as we are waiting for news from the client。I found the book to be very straightforward and provided good insights that got me going through old reports and proposals and realising how bad they were。 They followed all the bad points raised in this book， such as using way to formal words that gave a stilted style of reading。 Plus they were too introspective。I thoroughly recommend this book to those who need to write reports and feel they could be better。I found the proposal checklist to be very useful。 。。。more
