Professional Writers Attract Readers
The essence of good writing is an empathetic relationship with the audience. Writers capable of establishing that connection will always draw a following. Readers gratefully pay for the satisfaction of being understood. That’s the primary difference between a professional writer and everyone else in the world with a keyboard.
Other Benefits of Experienced, Professional Writers:
Faster - An experienced writer may cost more per hour, but the hours spent on a project are greatly reduced, because there are fewer errors and rewrites. When your staff is constantly editing a writer’s work, that’s an indirect cost that can be avoided entirely with a truly experienced professional.
Greater Clarity - A professional writer delivers copy that’s concise and clear for all levels of the audience demographic. If your audience doesn’t understand the writing, or if it’s poorly organized, there’s absolutely no value in the writing at all.
A perfect example are the help files for computer programs. Software companies the world over could save millions in support personnel if they had only invested in professional writers who understand the audience and the concept of the lowest common denominator. Without a respectful assessment of the readership’s prior knowledge, you’re bound to miss the mark.
More Enjoyable - It’s fun to read good writing. To loosely quote Samuel Clemens, “Fast writing makes for some very slow reading.” Bore your readers at your own peril, because unpleasant feelings will be related to your company, issue or product.
Multiple Levels of Meaning - A professional writer knows how to chose words and manipulate content to provide readers multiple levels and shades of meaning. I call it “writing in the white space.” The ability to control the progression of concepts for maximum benefit is a skill that can’t be taught. It literally influences the way a reader incorporates your ideas into the neural network of the brain. How powerful is that?
