Precise Writing Skills

Written Communication/Writing Skills:

Written communication is basically the major type of communication.
It includes any type of message that makes use of the written word. It is the most important and the effective way of any mode of business communication.  

The examples of written communications generally used with clients or other businesses include:


  • Email
  • Internet websites
  • Company catalogues
  • Letters
  • Quotations
  • Proposals
  • Postcards
  • Contracts
  • Advertisements
  • Brochures
  • Pamphlet

Skills Required:


The core skills required in professional writing are good communication, organized thought, a high standard of grammar and language, clarity and conciseness. Skills may be acquired through practise or formal learning. While many practitioners of professional writing do so as a vocation rather than as full-time employment, the element of "professionalism" is what defines professional writing. Such is the importance of professional writing in the modern world, many academic institutions offer courses up to degree level on the subject, with some tailored to specific professions such as social work.
