Chapter 1, "What Writing Means in the SNS Era," documents the current trend of "writing becoming increasingly shorter" based on interviews with SNS professionals. Precisely because of this era, the author argues, the skill to write clear, understandable text—even when longer—is essential for business professionals.

Chapter 2, "How to Write: Practical Guide," meticulously explains how to write business documents—from proposals to apology letters—while keeping the SNS era in mind.

What makes this book unique is that the author leverages his own journey from having "zero writing skills" to becoming a professional writer as an advantage in teaching writing techniques. He understands the struggles of "people who are bad at writing" and wrote this book specifically for them.

The writing techniques presented here are both the result of the author's own efforts and the wisdom of the renowned editors who honed his skills and made him a bestselling author. Combined with its relevance to the SNS era, this book stands as a valuable modern "Writing Guide."
