IRVINE, Calif., April 10, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Peter J. Brennan, an award-winning business journalist who has written more than 30,000 articles and headlines, today announced the publication of his newest book, “How to Write at Work: Quickly Create Great Messages.”
About one third of employees in America’s largest corporations lack adequate writing skills and companies are spending billions to correct these mistakes, according to a survey by the CollegeBoard. If you write something as simple as an email or a letter, this book can teach you the secret techniques employed by business journalists.
“This new book is for people in business or government who don’t love writing or grammar, or the embarrassment that comes with critiques of their writing,” Brennan said. “They realize their path to success is to write well enough and avoid those silly errors that everyone else seems to know.”
Are you worried others may make fun of your writing? Have you heard people snicker about your writing? Do you need to write clearly to get ahead at work? The book’s 11 chapters show how to spot the dangling modifier, use commas as signals and write dazzling headlines. A reader learns how to avoid common mistakes such as the lost pronoun, the changing verb tenses or the misplaced parallelism.
Brennan is an expert at using numbers to tell a story. He is the Financial Editor of the Orange County Business Journal in Southern California where he covers an economy the size of Portugal’s. During a career spanning 35 years, he has written articles that were published in the world’s most famous media including The New York Times and the Washington Post. The author worked for 15 years for Bloomberg News, where his headlines and articles won dozens of awards for moving the market capitalization of companies to move by hundreds of millions of dollars. He also spent a decade in Latin America covering civil wars, earthquakes and business. He won a Kiplinger Fellowship at The Ohio State University.
The book is now available on Amazon.com either on Kindle for $9.99 or in paperback for $14.99. To arrange an interview with the author or for group or private writing lessons, contact:
