Smart Brevity

Would you like to know the secrets of sharing your message to attract readers, enticing them to actually crave more details, and clearly outlining what they need to know in five minutes or less? Smart Brevity contains a ton of quality content in a smart easy-to-read format. It highlights the importance of brevity in communications through a variety of settings including: Work, Email, Newsletters, Social Media, Presentations, Meetings, etc. Run don't walk to buy yourself a copy of this book and put these methods to work for you right away! Thanks to Net Galley and Workman Publishing Company for providing me with an advanced copy of this book in return for my honest review. I have not received any compensation and my review was not pre-reviewed or edited by any other person.

Practical guide for a very specific way of writing clear, plain language. Mostly geared towards reporting/journalism and business. I wish everyone would read this book, but really more as an eye-opener. Some of the constraints work really well for mass communications but if you don't have a huge audience (for ex, 1-to-1 communication) it's less useful.

Learned a lot about how to improve written communications. Simple and to the point!

i had to read this for work: too repetitive, beats the point of the book, ironic of them to write a book for what could have been a newsletter 

Madhulika Agarwal

A must-read for anyone who writes, posts, presents, emails, and communicates.
