The book describes the challenges and triumphs faced by organisations pursuing this goal, and shares inspiring stories from the 'plain English coalface'. Drawing on years of commercial experience, Write Limited's CEO Lynda Harris and her colleagues have produced a handbook for improving bottom-line results by changing the way writers think.
