Marian Nelson-Addy - How to Improve Your Writing Skills

Marian Nelson-Addy has been writing since a young age. Writing for her is an avenue to express her thoughts on various issues, including humanitarian issues faced by disadvantaged communities. While she’s no Pulitzer-winning writer (yet), she knows that becoming a polished writer takes effort and commitment.

Simply put, there is no shortcut to becoming a great writer. Not even wizardry has come up with a quick way to make you a sublime writer. That said, some of the following tips can help you get started on the process.

Take regular writing lessons 

You can always undertake some courses to read and improve your writing skills, even if you’ve been writing a while. You will learn new tips for producing quality content, plus you can stay up to date on the latest techniques.

Be a frequent reader 

There’s no way around this, folks. Reading is essential for growing as a writer. It builds your vocabulary base and improves immensely on your knowledge of various topics and writing styles.

No one is perfect 

Even authors of best-selling books take the time to revisit their work to ensure coherence. Proofreading is an important aspect of sublime writing. Before releasing your work for publishing, go over it as with a fine tooth comb to ensure you are producing good quality work.

Lastly, always think about the reader. A good writer needs to develop a dynamic sense and connection with the reader. As Marian Nelson-Addy knows, instill the reader’s perspective in every angle of your writing so that you don’t leave them hanging at any point.
