Business-writing radio launched

Free podcasts offer expert help with writing reports, proposals, emails and more

A new source of free help is at hand for anyone who has ever grappled with writing a ‘make or break’ proposal or report, or wondered how best to handle sensitive customer correspondence. It comes in the shape of a series of podcasts that give expert advice on how to improve your business-writing skills.

The podcasts, called Write On, offer help with everything from creating effective reports and proposals to writing speeches and emails.

The high-quality programmes have been produced by leading business-writing trainers Emphasis and are presented by BBC radio presenter Clare McDonnell. They offer a wealth of practical tips and advice, as well as interviews with executives from major public and private-sector organisations about the latest thinking on business writing.

They are just one of the many resources available on the Emphasis website that enable everyone to access business-writing advice, free of charge, in their own time.

‘Companies can lose millions of pounds every year through poorly written proposals or badly worded customer service letters,’ explains Rob Ashton, Emphasis Chief Executive. ‘But often people don’t know how to improve their written work and may not want to admit publicly that they struggle with writer’s block or grammar, for instance.

‘The beauty of the podcasts is that you acan listen to them in private, anywhere – improving your writing skills even while travelling to work, for example.’

The podcasts are available to download here, where users can subscribe through iTunes or RSS feed to automatically receive each show as it’s released. They play equally well on an iPod or computer.
