Our
Approach to writing:
Nonfiction:
When
it comes to nonfiction, we believe that the best writing as that which is
simple and direct and easily comprehended by the widest range of
readers. Toward this end, we advocate writing that:
-
Uses
easy to understand words and avoids jargon, or technical language,
except when necessary (such as, in writing a technical manual, or a
text book) .
-
Has
an easy-to-recognize logic, or structure that allows readers to read
both top-down (that is, skim text to get overall view and read in
detail when desirable, or necessary) and front-to-back (that is, from
the beginning to the end).
Creative
Writing: When
it comes to creative writing, we also prize simple and direct language,
but we add imagery and evocative language to enhance the richness of
what is written. In the process we employ an approach that takes
into account genre (category of fiction, such as mystery/detective,
romance, science fiction, and mainstream) and that considers the interactions
between character, plot and theme.
Practice
what we preach:
Finally, we believe in practicing what we preach, and use this approach
on this, our own website.
Writing
Samples: We
will soon have available a variety of writing samples
to further demonstrate out approach to writing.
