Welcome to the Writing Matters blog, written by E-WRITE's Leslie O’Flahavan and Marilynne Rudick. In this blog, we’ll make a convincing case for how and why writing matters. We plan to share the good, the bad, the funny, and the ugly in the e-mails, web content, articles, and business writing we all consume each day. We’ll offer seat-of-the-pants tips and how to's, as well as thought-provoking posts. We hope to spark conversation--better yet, vigorous debate--about writing and communication. Thanks for joining us in this blog. Please let us know how writing matters to you.
