On a global basis, advanced writing skills are in growing demand among business owners and employers at all levels. Across every sector and business area, writing plays a critically-important role at every level within most organisations. From internal business communications to the creation of complex business plans to proposals to press releases and so on, the written word directly contributes to the success (or otherwise) of the business as a whole. But what’s interesting is that irrespective of the importance and value of advanced writing skills, comparatively few take a proactive approach to the development of their own writing talents. To become a capable writer of the highest quality is to gain an immediate and ongoing edge over the competition – whatever your chosen career path.
