Written Communication

Written communication is the transmission of information through written text — including emails, reports, proposals, presentations, messages, and documentation. Unlike spoken communication, written messages persist over time and can be reviewed, shared, and referenced repeatedly. Effective written communication requires clarity, appropriate structure, careful word choice, and an understanding of the reader's needs and context. In business settings, it is one of the primary channels for formal decisions, instructions, and record-keeping.

They differ from informative presentations in that they take a deliberate position and actively seek buy-in.
