The Writers' Handbook helps writers understand how to use effective writing in their work.

Details
The Writers’ Handbook has been developed to help all writers in the Development, Concepts and Doctrine Centre (DCDC). The publications DCDC produces are sometimes the only contact we have with our intended audience and so it is vital we communicate our messages well and maintain our reputation for producing high-quality products.
Communicating effectively is an important tool we all need to use. It may be through a presentation, an email or a publication. Whatever form it takes, it is communicating the work of DCDC. It is therefore important that DCDC has a consistent style used across all our work and that we adhere to the Ministry of Defence (MOD) Branding Guidelines. This handbook has been written to try and help build and maintain consistency in the work we do.
Who should read this publication
The Writers’ Handbook is mainly written for those producing DCDC products. However, other writers may also find some of the information useful.
