Explicit Business Writing Training
The book, Explicit Business Writing: Best Practices for the Twenty-First Century is set up to be used for competency-based training. It contains standards for explicit business writing and explanations of the best practices that attain the standards. Each standard has the page number of the matching best practice so a trainer can have trainees read the explanations of the best practices that will help them meet the standards. Discounts for volume purchases are available.

Customizing the Book

The Business Writing Center will make the Microsoft Word files of the book available to businesses to customize for their use. The cover can also be altered to include the company's name.

These are some of the arrangements that are possible, although the Center will consider other arrangements that fit a company's interests.

  1. A company might alter the Microsoft Word files as desired and print copies of the book in-house.

  2. A company might alter the Microsoft Word files and have the Center do a final edit and proofread before the company prints the copies in-house.

  3. The Business Writing Center can alter the book using text the company provides, then edit, proofread, and print a run of the altered books for the company.

  4. The Business Writing Center can provide the name and address of the printer we use so the company can change the document, produce a camera-ready .pdf master, and arrange with the printer to have the book printed.

The Business Writing Center is open to other alternatives. Fees will depend on the arrangements. Contact The Business Writing Center at publications@businesswriting.com to have us help you explore alternatives.
