*Do you hate to write (but you have to at work)?
*Is starting your first draft a real struggle?
*Are you ready to get the words right?

Words at Work can help. This powerful little book, the first in the Write Faster Series, shows you how to shift your thinking, write with confidence, and boost your career.

I've helped hundreds of writers just like you overcome their fears about writing so they can start writing with ease. I know these methods work because I've lived them-moving on from my own self-doubt and fear to the success of writing 18 books and 1,200 articles for major publications.

Words at Work shows everyone from executives and entrepreneurs to up-and-coming employees how to write in a clear, conversational style that people actually want to read. And every proven tip and tool can be applied to anything you write. Through essays and honest recounting of my own trials and tribulations with writing, you'll learn practical and easy ways to write-and succeed-at work.

Words at Work shows you how to:
1. Overcome fear of writing
2. Write faster and easier
3. Organize information (no tedious outlines)
4. Use stories to engage your readers
5. Tap into your creativity (yes, you are creative!)

If you're like me, right about now you might be thinking, "Yeah, but old habits are hard to break." I hear you-yet over the past decade while teaching writing, I've marveled at how quickly people get over their fears about writing when they understood how the writing process actually works. Once they discover that, they're off and running.

In Words at Work, I share easy, step-by-step writing tools you can use over and over. You'll learn not only how to write, but how to develop a writer's mindset. You'll feel more confidant and creative-and there's no telling where that can lead.
