Students exiting social work programs are often ill-equipped to handle the day to day writing requirements, such as the preparation of case notes, reports and proposals, note Healy (social work, U. of Queensland) and Mulholland (English media studies, U. of Queensland). They offer a guide containing hot tips and exercises which prepares the student (and working professional) for writing in a variety of settings, from casual email to journal articles and conference papers. This edition focuses more on the use of new social media such as Facebook and Twitter, and has new coverage of the preparation of affidavits and court reports.
