First Books, Inc. will be giving away a free copy of my book The Art of On-the-Job Writing to the winner of its first "Worst Writing at Work" contest. For the fun of it, I encourage you to enter.
What you'll need is a good sense of humor and a thick skin because you'll have to admit to an embarrassing mistake that you made in an e-mail. (If you go the contest website, www.worstwritingatwork.com, you can read a humbling mistake that I made.) Just entering the contest entitles you to a 10% discount on the book, so in a sense everyone who enters is a winner.
Visit www.worstwritingatwork.com for contest details. Have fun!
