Wordy writing (or wordiness) is the most common writing error in manuscripts. Journal guidelines, such as those of Nature and Science, also instruct authors to avoid wordiness. Most authors feel that they might miss conveying some information in the process of writing concisely. To help authors prepare concise manuscripts, we have developed 8 Steps to Concise Writing. Its unique features are

	it is in a tutorial format that explains the techniques by using a very simple approach, i.e., dialog between two researchers
	it contains a printable summary and flow chart for quick reference
	it contains practice exercises that will help you test yourself

Some of the wordy and redundant phrases included in this tutorial are those that we have come across while editing documents written by nonnative authors. It is possible for you to take a printout of these lists and refer to them while writing your manuscript.

Who should buy this tutorial?
Authors and writers who want to improve their communication style and the overall readability of their work.
