Conversational writing: Engage your readers

Every nanosecond, a new blog is born … or so it seems. Online competition for readers is fierce.
How do you stand out from the crowd?

To attract and engage an audience, your writing must be friendly and informal—like a casual conversation.
You don’t want to come across like a corporate drone or worse, a robot from Star Wars, do you?

Conversational writing helps you build a connection. And it’s easier to read, gets your message across, and makes you memorable.

In ten simple (yet effective) lessons, you’ll learn techniques to transform any piece of writing. From formal to informal. From technical to user friendly. From boring to engaging (Yay!).

Let’s get to it.
