Tips for Writing and Submitting Your Work
Identifying your audience is an important factor to consider when writing an article. The tone and word choice you use should be appropriate for your audience, with a formal tone being suitable for a scholarly journal and an informal tone often being used in magazines for teenagers and young adults.
When writing an article, it’s important to keep your sentence structure simple and include just enough information to engage your audience without overwhelming them with unnecessary details or jargon. Consider your target audience’s needs and ask yourself questions such as: What question does my target audience want answered? What is the problem? How will my target audience benefit from this article? What’s the solution? What are the pros and cons of my solution? Will this article help or hurt my target audience in the long run? After you have a clear understanding of your topic, summarize the most important information in a 3-5 sentence summary that highlights the most relevant details for your audience. If you can’t condense your research into a summary, it may be too complicated for an article format. Websites have more freedom than articles because they can include more detailed information and additional links as resources. Hyperlinking within a website also allows readers to explore related topics at their own pace without feeling overwhelmed. The most important aspect of any article is that it should be written in the active voice, which means that the subject of the sentence performs the verb. Passive sentences, on the other hand, focus on what has been done to something rather than what someone or something does. For example, “After an hour of research, I was able to determine…” is written in the active voice, while “An hour of research was done by me and I determined…” is written in the passive voice.
If you plan to write for the online magazine Player.me, make sure to keep the content fresh and updated to keep readers coming back. If you’re starting your own blog, be sure to consistently write articles, as search engines value consistency. An ideal article length is 500-1000 words, but shorter or longer word counts can also work depending on the type of publication. Don’t forget to include pictures or visuals if they add value to your article. Pinterest boards are a great resource for sharing pictures and recommendations. Before submitting your final draft, proofread your article for content, unclear wording, and grammar and spelling errors. If you’re writing for an ezine on a tight deadline, be sure to send your article with plenty of lead time to allow for editorial review and editing.
