This book has been designed specifically for students in writing classes and other writers interested in developing proficient writing careers in a professional environment. As professional writing continues to change rapidly alongside digital developments, this book frames professional writing particularly for 'creative' and other writers. The professional world needs writers with a diverse portfolio of skills and capabilities; if writers can master these, they are more able to make a living from their writing and support their more creative endeavours. Each chapter includes a comprehensive range of exercises to build professional skills, along with learning objectives, case studies, worked examples, tips for success, and suggested websites and further reading.
