Writing-skills experts Emphasis launch a series of online resources

A new, interactive website launches today, giving users practical advice and expert feedback on their business-writing skills.

Launched by leading business-writing trainers Emphasis, the site features a comprehensive set of resources designed to help anyone who has to write emails, reports, tenders, proposals, letters or other documents at work.

Users can sign up to receive a regular podcast and writing tips e-bulletin. They can also access a unique writing-skills forum where the Emphasis trainers guarantee to respond to any queries within two working days.

One of the site’s main advantages is that users can improve their writing in private and in their own time. ‘People often feel uncomfortable about revealing any weakness in their writing skills,’ explains Rob Ashton, Chief Executive of Emphasis. ‘With the resources available on this site, they can improve their writing in private and whenever they like.’

The Write On podcast, presented by the BBC’s Clare McDonnell, is effectively the UK’s first business-writing radio programme. It’s full of expert advice and insight on everything from writing better executive summaries and press releases to speech writing, emails and the psychology of proofreading.

Other resources include a blog with contributions from writing experts and the comprehensive Knowledge Bank. Visitors can even order a free copy of the Emphasis style guide, The Write Stuff, directly from the site.
