Resources For Technical & Business Writing

This website began as a set of links to online resources for business and technical writers. It quickly grew into the equivalent of a handbook for writers of expository prose of all kinds.

As a long-time teacher of writing I find the greatest obstacle many people have with writing is trying to make it "right" the first time�their focus on correctness makes writing much more difficult than it needs to be. Consequently, in this set of materials, I have included a section on Writing Process. Take time to read through these pages—they provide some understanding of how writing ought to be done.

The Resources

This website consists of:

• information on writing: a description of different writing paradigms, a list of myths about writing, and several pages on the writing process
• specific information for business and technical writing
• a section on writing conventions: spelling, style, punctuation, grammar, etc.
• links to a wealth of online writing resources
