Business Writing in the US Does Not Equal Business Writing in Asia

Write It Well has been delivering workshops, webinars, and individual coaching programs in Asia for almost one year, and we’ve learned a great deal.  Most importantly, we know that business writing in the US does not equal business writing in Asia.

For example,

  • In Asia, business writers rarely use semicolons.
  • In Asia, business writers do not use the serial comma.
  • In Singapore, writers use the word “revert” when they are asking for a response (e.g., “I will revert tomorrow”).

In our training programs, we help writers really understand their audiences and speak to their interests and concerns. We do that too!  Look for Asia-focused versions of our books and training materials at the end of this summer.
