Think About Your Reader as You’re Writing

Dear Legal Writer, “Don’t forget me when you write.”
That was a note from your reader overnight.

I thought I’d pass it along.
It is good advice!

➡️ Because when you start to think about your reader as you’re writing, something really cool happens:

You realize it’s not just you sitting there alone,
banging at that keyboard.

No. You are two.
You and a reader you can’t ignore.

So get to the point.
Write as clearly as you can.

Make it simple and concise.
And don’t be a bore.

Give your reader what they want.
Make their job so easy they smile.

Anticipate their every question.
Leave them craving more.

💌 Amanda
