Writing: The Final Step: Creating an Attractive Presentation

Producing a respectable final presentation is still a needed skill. A neat, clear, and well presented document makes everyone look good—student, teacher, parent, employee or company. The days of real carbon copies are long gone and electronic wizardry has removed the scissors, glue and tape from the term “cut and paste,” so take the challenge and use computer technology to transform your written work into a great looking book, booklet or flyer. Writing: The Final Step is about the final product, about taking a piece of writing already in edited manuscript form and turning it into an attractive creative publication. It is an overview of three types of finished work that are applicable in school, business, personal and community work. The difference between an 8½” x 11” manuscript and a finished presentation is immeasurable. It is satisfying, it looks great, it’s impressive, it speaks well for its creator, and it’s an achievement in itself that lends a purpose and end to the original idea. Only then can one truly say, “It is finished.”
