E-Mail: A Write It Well Guide just landed on the Columbia Law School reader. The book is a user-friendly handbook to crafting professional, effective e-mail. It covers everything from writing persuasively to inbox housekeeping, plus tips on grammar nitty-grits like misplaced modifiers.

“E-Mail grew up in the lawless frontier of the Internet, without the traditional rules of old-fashioned letter writing, wrote Deborah Fallows, a senior research fellow of the Pew Internet and American Life Project. “This valuable book provides much needed guidelines for managing the demands and opportunities e-mail has brought to the workplace.”
