Professional StyleWriter businesses’ reviews

Below are listed recent businesses' reviews of using StyleWriter: "I work as a senior marketing manager at a Fortune 500 company. StyleWriter showed us we're not very good – no we're dreadful – at communicating with our customers. Since using StyleWriter, I've gained the skill of writing clearly. It's like shining a searchlight through a sea of corporate fog." Marketing Executive “StyleWriter has been a godsend. We are not professional writers but we write copy for brochures, ads and sales letters. We have seen our writing skills increase after installing and using StyleWriter." Director of Marketing and Sales "Who can tell if my business plan would have succeeded without editing with StyleWriter? All I know is everyone who read it said it made a refreshing change to read such a clear and well-presented document." GG Small Business Owner "No sales literature goes out of the Marketing department without passing the StyleWriter test. It must get excellent ratings from StyleWriter or it's not good enough." Marketing Director "Looking back at the way I used to write press releases I now understand…

Professional StyleWriter goverment reviews

Below are listed recent government reviews of using StyleWriter: “I'd strongly recommend you look closely at the StyleWriter editing software. It transforms writing into clear, concise and readable style – a style lacking in most documents, including the Federal Government … I have been using StyleWriter for almost 10 years, and would not send out a document without using this software.” Annetta Cheek - Chair - Plain Language Action and Information Network "Writing for the civil service can be difficult, time-consuming, costly, and of poor quality. StyleWriter saves you time and money, and makes you a better, more confident, writer." Morwenna Stewart - Editor – Quality Care Commission "StyleWriter 4 is the best on the market. I am joining a writing guild soon and will pass on the news of your software to the other writers." Robert T East - US Government Auditor "Congratulations. StyleWriter is an amazing product. I am a busy technical writer. Nothing leaves my desk before I analyse it with StyleWriter. Not one passive sentence leaves my desk. I find it interesting how many writers in…

Professional StyleWriter editors’ reviews

Below are listed recent Editors' reviews of using StyleWriter: “StyleWriter is the most useful piece of software I have used to edit documents. I have a Masters Degree in English and I'm used to editing the old-fashioned way, but StyleWriter saves so much time it's hard to credit. I still make the decisions, but it presents the choices to me without time or effort on my part. I love it.” Jeff Anderson - Journalist and Editor “I love StyleWriter 4. I am a life-long journalist who spent most of his career as an award-winning reporter on daily newspapers from California to Florida. I spent 14 years on the copy desk of one of America's biggest dailies. StyleWriter gives me an extra set of eyes and offers a backup to my own editing. To be honest, I initially had qualms about recommending a software program that theoretically could take business away from me. But as I've used it, I see how dependent it is on interaction from the user. It guides you rather than does the editing for you. I am…

Professional StyleWriter journalists’ reviews

Below are listed recent journalists' reviews of using StyleWriter: "I'm from the Wall Street Journal and need a copy of StyleWriter." "Do you want to review the software?" "No. I need it for everything I write." Press Journalist "Editors charge over $100 an hour to polish writing. Yet StyleWriter does 80 per cent of the editor's work. I reckon I've saved the cost of the program by running it through just a few articles." Freelance Journalist "I've used StyleWriter for a couple of years now. As a professional writer, under pressure to produce high-quality content on demand, I find StyleWriter an invaluable assistant. The functionality is precisely what a writer needs, fast and responsive, with at-a-glance metrics to tell you how each component of your writing scores: good, bad, or mediocre. StyleWriter flags up things you miss, bad writing habits, and helps you redraft to produce higher-quality work. I've found it brilliant in my 'day' job, but especially in my creative writing." Fiona Faith Ross “StyleWriter's the best thing since sliced sandwiches!" Journalist Join the Clear Writing Club Now– to…

Professional StyleWriter users' reviews Below are listed recent users' review of using StyleWriter: "StyleWriter is pure genius." David Vickers "StyleWriter is such a valuable tool; I sometimes wonder what I would do without it. It is a trusted crutch on which I persistently rely." Alan Dennis "I must say that StyleWriter is fantastic. It's almost an unfair advantage! It makes me look smarter than I really am.” John Fueston "What a wonderful program! It's like having a good friend sit next to you as you write, but who has the courage to give honest advice on your writing." Webmaster "StyleWriter is a great program, user-friendly, and does what it says it will. I take my hat off to the designers. Nothing compares to StyleWriter." Matthew Pierce "Once I followed StyleWriter's advice and switched passive verbs into active verbs, my writing became shorter, clearer and less ambiguous. StyleWriter's advice on passive verbs alone is worth the price of the program." Government Administrator "StyleWriter has improved my writing 100 percent." Georgene Collins "As I edit, StyleWriter's analysis and ratings of my document…

Open University

Open University student’s review of the Clear Writing Club and StyleWriter: "I’m really impressed with StyleWriter. I bought it to help me with my studying with the Open University. The only ‘problem’ now is that before I would easily use up all the allowed ‘word count’ for answers to questions, now, with the program forcing me to cut out a lot of the waffle, I am coming in under the allowed number of words. The program is forcing me to cut out the waffle and say something useful. Waffling was easy, saying something useful is harder. The program is making me work harder. Oh to be back in the days of waffle – it was all so easy!" – Open University Student. The Open University (OU) is a public research university and the largest university in the United Kingdom by number of students. The majority of the OU's undergraduate students are based in the United Kingdom and principally study off-campus; many of its courses (both undergraduate and postgraduate) can also be studied anywhere in the world.

University of Southern Indiana

University of Southern Indiana's review of the Clear Writing Club and StyleWriter: "You would think that as a journalism instructor I would not need software to keep my writing simple and direct. I seldom write passively, but, alas, I have wandered into the murk of verbosity. StyleWriter delivered my comeuppance. In the beginning StyleWriter disheartened me, unmasking my waywardness. Then it became a tool, almost a friend. Now it is an opponent to defeat in advance. In short, StyleWriter has become a mentor, a teacher, and a friend. I recommend it to my students and fellow faculty members, and I am pondering requiring it for two upper division courses next year. Though I occasionally hesitate for a few seconds before loading StyleWriter, or loading my opponent’s weapon, I get three “excellent” grades before I start fixing the debris." – Professor at University of Southern Indiana. The University of Southern Indiana is a public university just outside of Evansville, Indiana. Founded in 1965, USI enrolls 9,750 dual credit, undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students in more than 130 areas of study. Clear,…

Accountant Magazine

Accountant Magazine’s review of the Clear Writing Club and StyleWriter: "Using StyleWriter is a real eye-opener. It gives instant analysis and ratings for style, sentence length and passive verbs. My style was consistently rated poor until I started to follow the program’s advice. Now my writing is consistently good and occasionally the program rates it as excellent." – Accountant Magazine The Accountant is the "oldest accountancy journal in the world". It was initially developed as a journal of accountancy issues in the UK, but has since expanded to cover broad global issues. Today, The Accountant is published monthly and reports on a range of topics, including changes in accounting standards, corporate reporting, audit quality, staff shortages, technology, IFRS, succession planning, tax and auditor liability. The Accountant was established in 1874 as a journal for the accountancy profession. Its first publisher was Alfred Gee who wanted the publication to be independent. As the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales explains in its library database, Gee didn't want the magazine to be affiliated with any professional body, although in 1890…

PC Plus Magazine

International Plain Language

The International Plain Language's review of the Clear Writing Club and StyleWriter: "I’d strongly recommend you look closely at the StyleWriter editing software. It transforms writing into clear, concise and readable style – a style lacking in most documents, including the federal government. This software is so much more useful than the grammar checker… I would not send out a document without using this software. I consider myself a good writer (don’t most of us?). However, I need Stylewriter to remind me when, in the pressure of the moment, I slip and make some style errors I had hoped were eliminated from my writing long ago." – Annetta Cheek – US Government Adviser on Plain Language. Dr Annetta L Cheek Chair, International Plain Language Federation (USA) is one of the founders of both the federal plain language group, PLAIN, and of the Center for Plain Language. She served as chair of both groups. While at the Center, she was instrumental in getting the US Congress to pass the Plain Writing Act of 2010. The Plain Writing Act of 2010 requires…
