Concise Style

The CONCISE STYLE section of The Electronic Writing Course concentrates on six poor habits that make writing too wordy and teaches you to cut wasted words from your writing. This helps your readers concentrate on your message. Professional editors remove 20-40 percent of words found in most documents - without deleting any content. How do they do it? The Electronic Writing course will reveal the secrets of professional editors. One technique, changing passive verbs, is the most important topic in the Course because it is the most common fault in writing.

This Section covers:

• Sentence length

• Passive verbs

• Hidden verbs

• Wordy phrases

• Business Clichés

• Overwriting
