Dear Professional,

Feeling anxious about writing? Worried about making mistakes or facing rejection?

Many think effective business writing requires years of practice, but that mindset can be daunting—especially if you’re new to the office or transitioning to a writing-focused role.

Maybe you’ve asked yourself:

• How do I start a sales letter?

• Did I compose my email correctly?

• Is the office memo template right for my message?

• How do I proofread my own document?

• Did I get my message across?

These questions might be holding you back from drafting confidently or even taking on a writing task.

But the work needs to get done—and no one wants their boss to do all the proofreading, right?

In my experience teaching business writing seminars, I’ve noticed that most professionals underestimate their skills. When we dive into their writing, I often find only a couple of common patterns that, once corrected, make their writing far more effective.

If someone could point out just a few recurring mistakes, you’d see immediate improvement.

That’s exactly why I wrote Business Writing Bloopers. This book will help you spot and correct frequent errors, empowering you to become your own proofreader. Organized simply, it offers practical principles in bite-sized pieces, ready for you to apply right away.

Here’s what this book will help you do: 

✓ Recognize common mistakes in business writing
✓ Familiarize yourself with effective writing styles
✓ Build confidence to proofread your own work

You can revisit this book anytime or even use it as your go-to checklist for content review.

Invest in your growth and make business writing one of your strengths.
