Why WORD ECONOMY Wins

Challenges like these holding you back?

01.

Rambling Sentences

Getting to the point IS the point in nonfiction writing. That’s why meandering wreaks havoc on storytelling and interpretation. And readers don’t have time for that.

02.

Repetitive Content

Redundancy, by definition, is unnecessary. Not knowing when to repeat a word, a statement, or even a particular idea signals lazy writing or poor vocabulary. Or worse—a lost writer.

03.

Info-Dumping

Too many concepts and details weigh down readability. Overstuffed sentences, paragraphs, and pages bore, and even irritate, readers—crippling your effectiveness.

04.

Shaky Punctuation

Not grasping the value of internal punctuation can cause wordiness. Being unsure of how commas, dashes, semicolons, and colons work weakens your writing.

"Iris helped me upgrade my document significantly. It's streamlined and features (in fewer pages) the same details as before, along with my new information. It's much better organized and reads more fluidly. Also, my newly created condensed speaker's bio is just what I need when space or time is limited."
