There are four fundamental sorts of writing, typically referred to as
“writing styles.”
These patterns are Expository, Persuasive, Narrative, and Descriptive. Each style
serves a precise purpose, such as explaining how some thing works or getting people
to agree with a factor of view. The audience and the motive determine which writing
fashion is used.
1.
Expository
Expository writing explains a particular subject to its readers. It focuses on specific
topics and includes relevant facts, figures, and descriptions. It usually describes a
process, and information is ordered logically and sequentially. It usually does not
include the writer’s opinions or any effort to convince the reader of a certain position
on the information. This is one of the most common styles and is used in:
-
Textbooks
-
How-to books and articles
-
Cookbooks
-
News stories
-
Business writing
-
Technical writing
-
Scientific writing
2.
Persuasive
Persuasive writing contains the biases and opinions of the writer. It also includes
justifications, reasons, and arguments in an effort to convince the reader to agree with
5
the writer’s opinion, accept an idea, or take an action. This writing is used in:
-
Opinion columns
-
Editorial pieces
-
AdvertiueMeHTs and commercials
-
Product reviews
-
Sales presentations
-
Speeches
-
Recommendations and cover letters
3.
Narrative
Narrative writing is used when telling a story, which can be fact or fiction. This is one
of the most versatile styles because it allows writers to create from imagination. In this
type of writing the story is central, not the facts. Narrative includes characters and
dialogue, tells a story, and has a logical beginning, middle, and end. This style is most
often used in:
-
Novels
-
Short Stories
-
Poetry
-
Memoirs
-
Biographies
4.
Descriptive
Descriptive writing is similar to expository. It explains something to the reader, but it
does so with very descriptive language that uses all five senses (sight, sound, taste,
touch, smell) to create a vivid image for the reader. Descriptive writing is often
personal and subjective while expository writing is typically impersonal or distant.
This style is often used in:
6
-
Poetry
-
Diaries
-
Journals
-
Love letters
-
Screenplays
These four patterns are related to the motive of writing. However, style goes past
purpose. It is also described by means of phrase choice, pacing, structure, voice, and
tone.
Word choice
is about precision and brevity. Precision is choosing specific words
that convey meaning, create imagery, evoke emotion and provoke a response.
Conciseness does not mean writing short sentences (unless that is a stylistic choice).
This means using only necessary words and eliminating unnecessary flowery,
repetitive, complex and confusing writing.
Sentence structure
is the way words and ideas are arranged. Are the words logical
and understandable? Are the big ideas first to grab attention, or later to build
momentum and suspense? Are the sentences short, long, or just right? Is the article
fluent and interesting?
Sentence flow
refers to the rhythm created with techniques such as alliteration,
consonance, multi-syllabic words, metaphor, simile, personification, onomatopoeia,
hyperbole, and symbolism.
Voice
is the perspective in which the information is shared. It is how readers hear
the words. Do they hear a formal, objective voice (i.e. the authority of a university or
corporate leader) or do they hear the more personal voice of the writer? Voice can also
refer to perspective, such as writing in the first or third person.
Tone
reflects the writer’s personal style. For instance, is the writing ornate with long,
complex sentences? Is it packed with metaphors and imagery? Is it straightforward,
with sparse prose and simple sentences? Perhaps it’s conversational rather than
7
formal? Emotional or logical? Serious rather than humorous?
Writing style develops with time as a writer evolves, experiments, and takes on new
projects. Great writers become aware of their natural style and use it often, but they
also intentionally practice writing in other styles to become more versatile.
