Writing Skills Workshop for Government Agencies
For government agencies, effective business writing is the law.
The federal Plain Writing Act of 2010 calls for writing that is "clear, concise, and well-organized….Avoids jargon, redundancy, ambiguity, and obscurity…Improve[s] public understanding of government communications." The Act requires government agencies to "use plain writing in every paper or electronic letter, publication, form, notice, or instruction."
Compliance with the Plain Writing Act is mandatory. Compliance, of course, begins with training.
Nancy Flynn's Business Writing Institute is a woman-owned small business (WOSB) that provides writing skills workshops to federal, state & local agencies to help ensure compliance with the Plain Writing Act and enhance electronic & traditional written communication skills.
Notable government clients include the Federal Trade Commission, Federal District Court, DC Water & Sewer Authority, Ohio Supreme Court, Ohio Juvenile Detention Directors Association, State of New Mexico, and Ohio Department of Transportation among others. See our comprehensive client list.
