SECOND EDITION OF AWARD-WINNING BOOK, “WRITE TO INFLUENCE” TO DEBUT AT AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION CONVENTION IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
**Carla D. Bass, Colonel, USAF (Ret), Award-winning Author, Available for Interviews**
“Powerful writing changes lives!” is the core message of Carla Bass and the second edition of her award-winning book, Write to Influence!, that will be unveiled at the American Library Association Convention in Washington, D.C. (June 20th-25th). Write to Influence! will be made available on June 30th from online retailers in paperback and e-book formats.
People, businesses and causes deserve to succeed, but often fail. Why? An inability to write powerfully and make a compelling case. Writing skills have devolved to the point that written material is often time consuming to read and difficult to comprehend. We see the effects in the workplace, as college graduates struggle to find jobs and employees are limited in their ability to compose a concise message.
Carla’s solution? Replace bureaucratic blather with text that is clear, concise, and compelling by learning to “Write to Influence!”
The second edition of Write to Influence! provides a path forward, incorporating material from Carla’s highly acclaimed workshops presented over the past two years to U.S. government agencies, military organizations, corporations, and NGOs, and at local public libraries.
“Powerful writing is a lifelong skill that opens doors to opportunity. It’s that simple.” says Bass, “In Write to Influence!, I present a methodology – fun, simple, effective, and proven — that makes each word count and every second of the reader’s time play to your advantage.”
Write to Influence has garnered resounding accolades from academia, corporations, NGOs, librarians, individuals, and book reviewers. Dr. William C. Spracher, Colonel, U.S. Army (Ret), Contracted Professor and Director of the Writing Center, National Intelligence University commented, “Carla’s book and workshops are invaluable for students, faculty, and staff (military and civilian). She ably and passionately equips them to succeed in any environment, academic or operational, by learning to Write to Influence!”
