Pam Hurley was asked to tailor a short writing seminar to address the specific client communication needs of our technical staff based on writing samples. Samples included a newsletter, business letters, email, and procedure documentation. She delivered a splendid presentation focusing on more effective communication styles and language. Her interactive and engaging delivery was extremely effective. Even our most accomplished authors learned a few techniques to more efficiently and effectively communicate the same material. Great value-added training.
-- Manager, Northrup Grumman

Use active voice when it's important for the reader to know who or what completed the action; use passive when it's not important. "I blew up the lab" (I'm accepting responsibility") versus "The lab blew up" (It wasn't me and I don't know who did it).
