We at All the Buzz spend a lot of time editing. We edit our own writing, and we edit writing for others.
In today’s working world, people want shorter, more concise information, so here’s a great article we came across on how to edit your own business writing and get to the point.
9 Steps to More Concise Business Writing

So I’m taking a cue from one of my favorite TV shows, the Food Network’s “Chopped” (warning: the show is addictive), and listing the top words or phrases you should chop from your business writing. On to the list!
