Do you ever think about how to include numbers in your writing in order to achieve your desired goal.
I don’t just mean whether to use numerals or write the number as words. I mean aspects like consistency, formatting, precision, and position. All of these things can help or hinder the communication of information to your reader.
If you are an auditor or accountant I suspect most of the things you write have at least one number in. And your goal for any piece of writing is to communicate something to a reader that makes them do what you want them to do. That action might be to make a decision or to take some action (e.g. fix a problem) or to remember the information.
Whatever your goal the numbers in your writing matter and you need to make sure they communicate their meaning clearly.
That’s why you should check out the new Writing About Numbers course at The School of unProfessional Writing.
And the bonus is that you will get access to all their other great content. You can learn how to write effective emails, business proposals, complaints, etc.
