Clear Writing
Writing That Readers Understand Instantly
The purpose of writing is to convey information or move emotions. Even the best ideas are meaningless if not communicated. The core of clear writing is "minimizing the reader's cognitive load."
Step-by-Step
1
Summarize core message in one sentence (What do you most want to say?)
2
Replace jargon with everyday language (Can an elementary student understand?)
3
Keep sentences under 20 words (split if long)
4
Read aloud after writing — stumbling points need fixing
Pros
