How to Say It for Women: Communicating with Confidence and Power Using the Language of Success
Author: Phyllis Mindell
Phyllis Mindell, an acclaimed expert on professional communications, shows women how to transform themselves by transforming their language; shed weak words, phrases, and gestures; empower themselves to win attention and respect; and get their ideas across with confidence and power.
Perhaps the best teacher of how the power of language can transform is an unexpected one: Charlotte the spider of E.B. White's, Charlotte's Web. Mindell demonstrates how Charlotte communicated messages that gained national attention and saved a friend's life. As a model, she combines female strengths of wisdom and compassion with the determination and power to make a difference.
As part of Prentice Hall Press's highly successful How to Say It tm series, How to Say It tm for Women is packed with practical tips, techniques, and examples that arm women to grapple with every communication issue, from choosing the right word or sentence to speaking, reading, writing, leading, dressing, and interviewing effectively. Readers will learn how to: shun words that weaken messages and make women invisible; sail through interviews; assess and develop leadership skills; say NO, kindly but firmly; respond appropriately to slurs, insults, and harassment; say the one winning word that gets people to follow directions.
True stories about women in every field, along with quotes from Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Carla Hills, Amelia Earhart, Elizabeth Dole and others, enable women to tap the power of words to persuade, motivate, establish authority, and make a difference-- without sacrificing their integrity, their compassion, or their femininity.
Today's Black Woman

Author: Dan Poynter

In Writing Nonfiction: Turning Thoughts Into Books, veteran writer and publisher Dan Poynter surveys the modern technology that enables anyone to write, produce, sell and promote books faster, easier, cheaper, and in more formats than at any time in the recorded history of writing and publishing. Poynter shows aspiring authors how to "build" their books, rather than just write them. He explains how to "publish" a book in a downloadable, CD, and ebook version; how to obtain maximum value from a book through audiotape, videotape, magazine excerpts, foreign-language editions, and more. Writing Nonfiction is an ideal, very highly recommended "how to" instruction guide and an invaluable reference for the self-published author, small press publisher, and completely accessible for the non-specialist general reader who aspires to become a commercially successful author of nonfiction books.
