Key Takeaways

  • Everyone has a unique writing voice. You can use revision to help adjust your natural writing voice for different contexts.
  • Many business writing audiences value plain, clear language that can be easily understood.
  • In general, active voice is easier to read than passive voice.
  • Your language should be inclusive. Especially when you are communicating to or about groups who face stereotypes, you should be precise with your language and think carefully about whether your words reflect bias.
