Writing is one of the basic communication tools of mankind. Writing is everywhere: the ad you saw on your walk earlier; the web pages you have browsed today all have writing which someone has taken the time to write down and note; books, magazines and newspapers; the email that you have received to ask when you are available for that meeting and your company policy documents. What you are reading now has been written by someone and depending on the effectiveness of the writing, you will or will not buy this course.
