Why Prescriptive Writing

You know how the band “Five for Fighting” is really one man, John Onrasik. Well, I decided to “brand” my services and chose Prescriptive Writing because the term denotes my approach to B2B writing — it “prescribes” how to do something as well as why. It’s an approach that works well for B2B… plus, the domain name was available, so there’s that. ~ Paul
