General Summary

Since 1997, The Business Writing Center has trained thousands of business writers from around the world. During that time, we have identified and refined a list of the best practices businesses are using today that create clear, concise, correct business writing.

Robert Craig Hogan, Ph.D., director of The Business Writing Center, with 35 years of experience in teaching writing, has compiled the best practices into a valuable guide for business people: Explicit Business Writing: Best Practices for the Twenty-First Century. It contains the best practices, explanations of how to apply them, and examples of their use in e‐mail, memos, letters, and reports.
