Six Principles for Clear Everyday Writing

Use these principles for almost any email, message, description, review, or report.

1

Know your purpose

Decide what the reader should understand, feel, or do before you begin.

2

Put the main point early

Give readers the context they need without making them search for your message.

3

Choose the right tone

Match your formality and warmth to the reader, relationship, and situation.

4

Prefer clear language

Use familiar, specific words and manageable sentences instead of unnecessary complexity.

5

Make action easy

State requests, questions, dates, and next steps explicitly.

6

Check before sending

Review names, facts, tone, grammar, links, and attachments after a short pause.
