Praise for Be a Brilliant Business Writer

  • "This book is long overdue. Corporate writing in America stinks, reflecting poorly on the writer and the company. Young and Curry make improvement entertaining. Every time I'm tempted to use the subjunctive tense ('I would like to thank you for . . .') I remember their admonishment: 'Why not just say thank you? It's short and sweet and to the point.' Thank you Jane and Diana!" --Scott Bates, former EVP, JPMorgan Chase
