Customer Reviews

I wish he used fewer words to get to his point2
It's mostly common sense advice. Stuff like "Think about your audience before you write" and "Email should be casual yet professional." There are lots of checklists that are too easy to gloss over. A book titled "Write to the Point" should help one write concise and precise writing, as Stott's book does. Iacone's book is more like a handbook of how to rephrase business writing for the situation and audience.

A perfect guide for writing papers in school or at work5
Writing a paper that is well-organized and concise can be a challenge even for the seasoned writer. From resumes to business letters, Dr. Iacone's book offers practical advice and approaches for any kind of writing. I found the numerous written examples throughout the book to be extrememly helpful. This book is a valuable tool for high school students, college students, novice writers, business people, and those of us who want our writing to be well-polished and right to the point.

A must for any business student5
I am college student majoring in Business Administartion, and I think Write to the Point (which should be underlined, however that option is not allowed) is the best book about writing that I have ever seen. It is very clear and concise, which makes it especially usefull for busy students. The appendices give a quick and handy reference for all kinds of writing problems. This is a book that all business majors should have!
