§ Well-written and concise documents will be read!
§ Written documents reflect the image and intentions of your company and its personnel, and representing quality products and services through professionally produced company documents means increased profits!
§ A tarnished reputation - resulting from sloppily written documents - costs your company in repeat customers and respect.
§ Great documents aren't just written . . . they're rewritten!
IN THE PUBLISHING WORLD:
§ Editors and publishers want properly formatted, clean copy.
§ Fierce competition demands writing mechanics expertise.
§ An agent is not a copy editor or proofreader!

§ Documents riddled with grammatical and punctuation errors will not be favorably read.
§ All publishable documents have been critically edited and meaningfully revised!
