"Once I followed StyleWriter's advice and switched passive verbs into active verbs, my writing became shorter, clearer and less ambiguous."

e-mails are an essential means of communications in the modern world, but writing standards often slip when drafting e-mails. StyleWriter can help you edit business e-mails into a clear and readable style.

Readers want e-mails that are clear and concise. They want short e-mails – under 50 words is a good target – so they can get the message at a glance. It's vital to make every word count. StyleWriter can make sure you don't fill your e-mails with redundant phrases, passive verbs and other style faults that lengthen them unnecessarily.
