When planning your writing project, consider the following two key factors:
What is the Purpose of Your Writing Project?
- Are you summarizing information, informing stakeholders, offering solutions to a problem or pursuing another objective?
- Knowing the answer to this question will guide your choice of words, tone, and the project's length.
- For instance, decide if a formal tone is necessary, or if a less formal approach will suffice, provided it remains professional and, where necessary, authoritative.
Focus on the Audience
- Identify your readers and their characteristics. Are they likely to be individuals/families, small business owners, pedestrians, environmentalists? Consider their age range and technological proficiency.
- Think about what your audience needs to know rather than what you wish to convey.
- If you are addressing multiple audiences, strategize how to adapt your message to meet everyone's information needs. We are happy to work with you on tailoring your message to a diverse audience.
