I write for a living.
It is my strength.
Yet every piece of significant writing
I complete
is edited,
often multiple times,
before it is ‘published.’
I send important emails
to buddies first
before I send them to the intended person.
Roy Cohen,
author of
The Wall Street Professional’s
Survival Guide*,
shares
“The quickest way to lose credibility
is through sloppy grammar.
If you’re sloppy,
it forces others at the organization
to make up for
what you’re not doing…
Someone has to go in
and do damage control.”
If I need an editor
for my important emails,
you certainly do.
(note: executives use
their executive assistants
for this)
