...Bringing extraordinary writing to real individuals and businesses.
Be honest. Have you ever...
happened across a blog article or web page and began reading eagerly, only to be left cringing at the frequency of grammar and punctuation mistakes, formatting inconsistencies, or downright (yaaaaawn) BOOOORING, AM-I-DONE-WITH-THIS-YET?, NOTHIN'-SPECIAL, NO-PIZAZZ!, "YEAH. RIIIIGHT," WHY-SHOULD-I-READ-ON... kind of content? Maybe the content you read was "tight," having been meticulously spell-checked and edited for "the basics"... but you found yourself scurrying for the unmistakable, little "x" at the top, right of your screen anyway? The same can be said for any hastily-developed promotional material - whether a press release, blog, eZine or magazine article, brochure, direct mailing or any content-driven product. Quality (as well as savvy) is conveyed to a reader immediately; and, as the old adage goes: You never get a second chance to make a first impression!
At one time or another, we have all experienced - plain & simple - bad writing.
And bad writing is bad. (Genius, right?) But... why is it bad? Because words matter. Edward Wertheim, PhD, College of Business Administration at Northeastern University, sums it up in a nutshell, "...Effective communication is an essential component of success whether it is at the interpersonal, intergroup, intragroup, organizational, or external levels."
But, written words don't just matter in business. They matter in everyday life. Whether a person is writing a cover letter for an important job, a yearly Christmas letter to friends, or instructions for the babysitter, quality communication - to convey both accuracy and emotion - is essential in everyday life.
The GOOD NEWS? Just as those who appreciate fine food may not be able to create it themselves (some of the finest food connoisseurs probably even burn their toast!), and just as someone who appreciates fine wine may not be able to age their own... individuals who appreciate the impact of quality, well-written material don't have to be gifted writers themselves!
