This week’s tips on “elevating” your writing:
a) Learn your audience’s language. If they talk “deliverables,” “ROI’s,” “what the heck this does,” or “pedagogy” – you would respond in like.
b) Before you begin – be sure your reason for writing is very clear. Do you want to entertain your reader? Get action? Sell? Or just to inform?
c) Now determine what you, the writer, hopes to accomplish. First, you want the entire manuscript to be read. Second, is the readers’ response.
d) Wait! Add a solid understanding of the audience’s needs for your manuscript. Their reason to read likely differs from your reason to write.
We will continue with the writer’s impact on his/her writing.
Kind regards…
