"Business Writing Today is a rich and beneficial resource for teaching the most popular genres in professional writing. Written in a straightforward and engaging language, the textbook effectively introduces genre conventions and illustrates them through various examples. Canavor cogently discusses the content and form expectations for formal letters, emails, project reports, grant proposals, resumes, cover letters, etc. as well as online branding through tweets, blog posts, personal websites, LinkedIn, and the like.
“I’ve used this textbook for an intermediate undergraduate professional writing course for nearly a decade, as it contains essential advice on how to avoid implicit bias in relation to disability, gender, multilingual audiences, and age. Canavor writes in a personal and engaging style that is not only accessible but also practical. My students find that many of the Practice Opportunities at the end of each chapter help them gain confidence in their communication skills, as well as reflect on their career goals.
