Everybody Writes - Day 17

This post is part of the 📖 Everybody Writes series.

Today I am reading Chapter 36 of the book Everybody Writes written by Author Ann Handley.

Chapter 36

Avoid the mistakes Markers Make

Author Ann says, too often marketers and other business professionals sacrifice clarity on the atar of sounding professional.

4. Don’t end a sentence with a preposition.

5. Never write a paragraph that’s a mere one sentence long.
