Need to work on your writing style?  While style is usually developed over multiple writing endeavors, there are some things you can do right now to improve it.

1. Check for wordiness.  Are there words and constructions you can eliminate without losing meaning?  Take them out.  If they’re not needed, they’re likely cramping your style.
2. Misused words.  Never use words and phrases whose exact meaning you’re not sure of.  Just because you saw a blog post using a term in reference to a specific meaning, it doesn’t mean the author used it correctly.  To make sure, check your writing software or reference multiple online sources.
3. Tone.  Is your tone appropriate for your audience?  If you’re not sure what’s appropriate for the audience, put yourself in their shoes.  Then, match your work’s tone to those reader’s values.
4. Gender-specific language.  Replace all gender-specific language with gender-neutral ones when there’s no certainty about gender.
5. Jargon.  Specialized terminology is fine when you’re writing to an audience who can understand them.  Otherwise, they should be left out in place of more reader-friendly alternatives.
6. Foreign language.  Same as jargon.  Can your prospective readers understand them?
7. Depth of language.  If you were instructed to write for children, it’s probably not a good idea to pull out the college-level language.  Write according to your readers’ level to facilitate better communication.
