Highly readable and succinct, Clearly Write provides direct, definitive and practical guidance on how to write with clarity and concision. The book is distilled from author Lim Soo Ping’s over four decades of experience with the writing of Cabinet papers, board papers, policy papers, management strategy reports, business proposals, a commission of inquiry report, minutes of meeting, corporate letters, audit reports, opinion editorials and blog articles. It is also the culmination of the author’s three-year teaching of a course on writing for management executives at the Singapore Management University (SMU) Academy. Clearly Write is structured for ease of learning and referencing. It is replete with examples to make the writing tips even easier to follow. To inspire learning, each of its chapter is preceded by a personal anecdote. A handy book for executives on the go, whether they are in management or operations in the business sector, in the public service or in the non-profit sector, it will also serve students well in sharpening their written communication skills. Make Clearly Write your personal companion on your journey to becoming an even better writer!
