Most of the visitors to my Writing Help Central website arrive with something very specific in mind for which they are searching. Because the site currently contains more than 250 pages and 200,000 words of writing help information, it can sometimes be difficult to find exactly what one is looking for.
So to help with this, I have recently created a “quick links page” that will allow many people to go directly to the info they want. For a link to that new page, keep reading:
If you ever need to write essays, term papers or professional research papers, chances are you will be required to use one of two main format and style conventions; APA or MLA.
These are the two most used paper formatting standards used in the English language. Based on the clickthrough bevavior of the more than 250,000 individual visitors who came to my Writing Help Central website last month, of those looking for format/style info, 53% were looking for APA help and 47% for MLA help; giving APA the slight edge. To learn more about these two standards, keep on reading…
Here’s another one of my posts about writing-related information that is posted on my Writing Help Central website, of which you might not be aware.
In recent years the “book summary” has emerged as a powerful tool for students, business people, writers and researchers. A book summary is a professionally written synopsis of a full-length book that capsulizes the important facts and concepts contained in the main book, in just a few pages. These summaries are typically 3 to 5 pages in length and are written in an easy-to-absorb point-form style.
Book summary sites have proliferated in recent years due to the dynamic nature of the Internet. Accordingly, as a guide to my readers I have researched and listed some of the top Book Summary websites on my Writing Help Central site, at the following link:

Every month more than 25,000 visitors to my Writing Help Central website view my various resume writing information pages and sample resume templates. As usual with my writing templates, these are all real-life fully formatted sample resumes written for real people applying for actual jobs.
Of the 15 resume samples posted on the website, five of them are more popular than the other ten. Here are the Top 5 most popular resume samples…
The absolute best way that I know of to write just about anything quickly and effectively is to use what I call a “real-life template”. In fact, I rarely write anything without using some sort of real-life template.
In case you aren’t sure what I mean here; a real-life template is an actual sample of the particular document that you need to write. For example, if I need to write a “business introduction letter” I dig out an actual business introduction letter that I have written previously for another situation. If I don’t have such a letter in my files I try to find a sample online of an actual introduction letter that has been written by another professional.
Believe me; working with a real-life template is far better than starting with a blank page or screen, or trying to work with one of those generic fill-in-the-blank jobs. Here’s how you typically work with a real-life template…
When you need letter writing help online or offline do you know where to find info and samples that will help you compose the specific type of letter that you need to write?
One would think so. However, if you spend some time searching online or browsing around your local bookstore you may be surprised to find out how much confusion there is among many “so-called experts” as to exactly what types of letters there are and then how to write them.
To remedy this, I have added more than a dozen pages to my Writing Help Central Website that provide: specific definitions for the most frequently written letters, how-to info for composing them, and links to some real-life sample letters.
Here’s the link to the “letter writing definitions” info page:

Many people come to my Writing Help Central website and spend just a few minutes looking around and then leave without realizing how much writing help info is actually available there.
Did you know that (as I write this) there are more than 210 pages and over 200,000 words of pure writing help content on that Website? And did I mention that it’s free?
How much of that content have you actually taken the time to browse through? For example, did you know that I have posted some 40 articles about different aspects of everyday practical writing? For example, here are links to my Top 5 Writing Help articles…
In my opinion one of the most unprofessional things that one can do is to send a poorly formatted letter. Doing such a thing is an instant credibility destroyer. Even if your letter is perfectly worded and devoid of grammatical and spelling errors; sending it out in a sloppy unprofessional format will always reflect badly on the sender.
That being said; are you aware that there is NO single international standard for formatting the three main groups of letters used in day-to-day life: business letters, business memos, and personal letters?
Even though I am not officially in the resume writing business, I have written many of them over the years, for many different people, in many different job search and application situations. In fact, earlier this week someone contacted me for a resume price quote.
In most cases, when someone contacts me they already have a draft resume, or a previous version, that they want me to fix or rewrite. When I review these documents I am often amazed by the way people tend to self-sabotage when it comes to writing their resume or c.v. Here’s how they do it…
Since early 2002 more than 55,000 people from over 170 countries have taken at least one of my free online writing-related courses.
Most people who end up on my mailing list get there by signing up for one of my free writing courses. That means that you were likely searching online for some sort of writing assistance one day and you ended up on one of my Websites where you filled out the Course Sign-Up Form that was offered on that particular Website.
What most people on my list don’t realize is that I actually offer a total of five (5) different writing-related courses! Following is a quick summary of each course followed by a link to my main sign-up page where you can sign up for one or more courses that you haven’t yet taken. Remember they’re all free…
