Resources for Business Writing and Presenting
The resources listed here are for both faculty and students. These resources include many of the handouts we have created at the HCBW to address specific issues in business writing, such as specific genres (e.g., memos, summaries, resumes), stylistic concerns, strategies for teaching writing, and tips on the writing process.
At the HCBW we seek to ensure that all materials are accessible. If you are not able to access the PDFs on this page, please email Dr. Lizzie Hutton so we may change them to ensure accessibility.
