Riveting Reports takes the anxiety out of writing reports by covering everything from the first spark of inspiration to the final draft. In this book you will see how a series of careful questions can lead you to the main and supporting messages of your report, and you'll learn how to let those messages drive the structure of the piece. From this foundation you will be able to outline, create a paragraph-by-paragraph plan, gather details and examples, convert your raw material into a first draft, and edit your work into its polished final form.
