Links to help you think

Hi,

When a hairy deadline is banging down your door, it pays to be organised so you can find what you need quickly.

Here are some writing resources and tools that have frequently helped improve or correct my copy. They'll help you meet that deadline with confidence. Bookmark, and enjoy!

[N.B. Advertising funds many of them, so “block popups” first, if you haven't already.]

Survey results on “tone” research: So far a quarter of our e-zine readers got this wrong: “When talking face-to-face, how much of your message is communicated via your words compared to nonverbals, like tone?”
Quiz and answer here.

What do you need to read? What would you like to read in these e-zines? Tips on persuasive writing, brevity, layout? More? Please let me know in this one-minute survey.

Have a great month,

Paul and Petrina
