General Writing Principles

  • All writing must be concise and to the point. Eliminate redundancy except when necessary for clarity.

  • All writing must follow a logical sequence so that the reader can clearly tell what steps to take in what order and what the results will be.

  • Do not use concepts before they are introduced.

  • Use transitions where appropriate. Make sure the reader does not have to hurdle unexpected jumps in thought.

  • Be consistent in the use of terms and abbreviations throughout the document or sets of documents.

  • Check hyphenated words or unusual usage in a dictionary.

  • Use only words that are common to the business community.

  • Be technically accurate and select words that accurately give a picture of what is happening. If you are unsure and it is important, find out the answer. Pay special attention to cause and effect relationships. Never use vague words to hide a relationship you are unsure of.

  • All business writing must be done in a timely manner—on schedule and on budget.
