Flexible
Format
These brief, affordable e-books can be assigned alone, used as a collection through The Bedford Bookshelf, or packaged for a savings with your Bedford/St. Martin’s technical communication or business writing text.
Detailed Case Studies
Detailed case studies drawn from a variety of industries allow students to work through real-world examples and better understand the implications of their choices as writers and researchers.
Grounded in Research
Each volume explores a commonly taught topic, providing research-driven coverage in greater depth than a survey text. The approach and content of each volume have been classroom tested.
Expert Authorship
Award-winning author and series editor Joanna Wolfe (Carnegie Mellon University) is widely published on topics of equity and communication and technical communication. She is joined by co-authors Chris Lam (University of North Texas) for Team Writing, 2e; Juliann Reineke (Case Western Reserve University) for Writing with Focus, Clarity, and Precision; and Emily Barrow Dejeu (Carnegie Mellon University) for Writing Proposals.
Writing with Focus, Clarity, and Precision
Designed specifically to support professional and technical writers, Writing with Focus, Clarity, and Precision is a brief guide to key style-related topics, from choosing the right tone and emphasizing the bottom line to using punctuation as information-management tools. This flexible volume can be read cover-to-cover or as a useful reference for writers at any stage of their writing process.
Writing Proposals
Employing a problem-solving approach, Writing Proposals guides writers through the challenges and best practices of proposal writing, including navigating constraints and working with varying types of stakeholders, conducting effective research, and audience-driven organization and design.
Writing about Data
Writing about Data introduces writers to the notion that presenting data involves rhetorical choices. Using real-world examples, this guide explains how data can be used effectively
Team Writing
Informed by current research into conflict management and equity and teamwork, Team Writing shows how written communication helps writers contribute to team projects in a meaningful way. It also provides strategies for dealing with the breakdowns that can derail a project’s success.
Equity and Communication
Equity and Communication synthesizes research on equitable communication to recommend concrete actions that can move us to more equitable workplaces. It provides specific communication strategies for minimizing bias in professional decision-making and includes scripts and strategies that can be used to advocate for equitable actions by appealing to a range of values, including justice, equity, and fairness.
