HOW TO GO ABOUT YOUR WRITING
Here is a guide to writing the sort of articles we like for our blog:
It should be informed and detailed.
Use a conversational chatty style.
Use words like “I” and “you” so your readers can easily relate to the information.
Put some work into your intro – is it intriguing/engaging/different?
Always use distinct examples, perhaps based on personal experience.
Link to recent research or media coverage of the subject matter if appropriate.
Try to look for a subject that has not been written about over and over again – or have something really fresh and surprising to say about an old theme.
The best topics are small and specific as opposed to huge and wide-ranging
Avoid standing up on a soap-box and banging on about something.
Quote people with differing points of view.
Avoid jargon and acronyms.
Read it aloud when you’ve finished. Is that how you talk?
The reader should emerge clear about what you’re saying, what other people have said on the subject, and what they are being asked to comment on.
It is exciting for us from Excellent Home Classes to be finding so much writing talent among the educational community and exposing it to a wider audience, and you could be part of that.
