Some Select Comments About Using a Biz-Writing Handbook

I really like The Business Writer's Handbook, and I suggest to my students that they get a copy. It's a great reference, so it saves me from having to teach forms (e.g., "This is how you write a memorandum" or "This is how you write a cover letter"). Instead, I just say, "It's in the book. Check it out, and ask me questions."

The Business Writer’s Handbook is an excellent resource for students to use not only in class, but in their future classes and internships/job experiences as well. While this is currently not a required text for the course, I strongly suggest students purchase one of these on their own.
