About this product
Product Information
Effective Writing in the Public Sector addresses both students and practitioners in public administration, offering clear, easy-to-understand guidelines on not only how to write correctly but also how to write more clearly, concisely, coherently, and, most important, effectively. The book covers the basics of English grammar, punctuation, and spelling; proper forms of writing; and conventions of language usage. The authors clearly explain how to apply those basics to general forms of written communication (memos, letters, and e-mails) as well as more specific documents (newsletters, proposals, budget justifications, and rules) used in the public sector. Each chapter provides real-life examples and exercises to help readers apply the guidelines to their everyday writing. This book is ideal for anyone in the public sector who wants a quick, easy, and accessible guide to brush up on writing basics, improve essential writing skills, and successfully communicate with a variety of audiences.

Reviews
"The ability to influence and motivate depends upon your ability to communicate both orally and in writing. I congratulate John and Kathy Swain for producing a book that salutes the elegance of the written word." -- David Limardi, ICMA Midwest Regional Director " Effective Writing in the Public Sector should be a required purchase for all public administration students--and one of the books they should retain throughout their careers. The book provides very valuable information on the most common writing errors, including incorrect word usage and grammar and punctuation errors. If all my students heeded the lessons in this book, their writing would be greatly improved--and I would find grading their assignments much more enjoyable." -- Joan E.
