Introduction
While no one word is independently persuasive, an effective combination of context, word choice and style has the ability to transform an uninspiring composition into a compelling one.
Like any skill, writing necessitates practising, rearranging, refining, and much re-reading. |
Whether you are writing a proposal, article or report, persuasive writing is all around us; understanding what makes writing persuasive is essential if we are to shape our reader’s decision, ideas or thoughts.
|
