Edward Atkins’s 8 Rules of Writing
Edward Atkins’s 8 Rules of Writing
1. Use a precise and succinct writing style.
2. Make sure the words you use are particularly appropriate for the meaning you’re conveying.
3. Generate smooth-flowing prose that at times has a cadence.
4. Be accurate at all times.
5. Write prose that is easy to understand. Don’t make your reader struggle.
6. Try to keep sentences fairly short with a single meaning.
7. Stress substance and significance. Don’t waste your reader’s time.
8. It helps if your book is timeless.
Edward Atkins is the author of On Which We Serve: Where Life-Lessons Are Learned.
