Why is it that so many people think that business writing has to be serious?
It has to be accurate. It has to meet business objectives and move people to take action. But it does NOT have to be serious or boring or flat. In fact, business writing should be just as enjoyable to read as a good novel!

What if I told you that the business plans I wrote had banks fighting to see which one would be chosen to fund them?
