Tips for Better Academic & Professional Writing
Academic and professional writing should always be composed with a clear audience in mind. What do your readers need to know? Do they have a bias? How much knowledge do they have on the topic? Maintaining a strong awareness of your audience is absolutely essential to effectively informing and persuading those you are trying to reach!
Cohesive devices such as conjunctions and transitions link your ideas and add greater meaning and flow to your writing. In addition to these interconnecting elements, repetition of ideas, referential pronouns, and other language techniques will enable you to maintain the interest of your readers and get your ideas across more clearly.
Expressing your thoughts and ideas in the fewest possible words will help keep your readers focused on your writing. Identifying and eliminating unnecessary words, phrases, and sentences is a skill that can be developed by following a specific system that you will receive as part of your academic or professional writing program.
Clearly conveying your thoughts and ideas to your audience is arguably the most important aspect of effective writing. To do so, you must master a number of key writing elements, such as effective paragraph structure, accurate word choice, clear organization, and a logical connection and flow of ideas.
