Synopsis

Most of us spend at least part of our working lives writing. Whether you are an accountant or a zoologist, chances are you use the written word everyday to inform, to document, to promote and to persuade. Using language effectively is an essential skill at work. Learning to go a step further and use it creatively can bring huge benefits for both you and your business. Inside every mediocre writer at work, there is a better one wanting to come out. All that we need to release us from our verbal shackles is encouragement, a bit of direction and a positive working environment. This book sets us on the right track. It encourages us to be dark angels: to rebel against business jargon and corporate speak, engage our emotions as well as our intellect and put our personality into words.

Media Reviews
This book does two things. It shows you that beautiful, intelligent and funny writing can (and should) exist in the workplace, as well as the bookshop. And the second thing? Well, it shows you how to create this beautiful/intelligent/funny writing, and how to constantly re-inspire yourself and those around you. No mean feat. - Dan Germain, Head of Creative, innocent drinks; Dark Angels is a creative writing masterclass from a master wordsmith. -- David May, Head of Strategic Communications, BBC; John Simmons uniquely demonstrates the powerful impact on individuals and companies of words simply written and gently spoken. -- John Dodds, Global Marketing Communications Director, Air Products
