Writing Tips for Thrive Global and Other Platforms: Q &A

• 

  How good should my content be? Any content for publication should make sense to the reader. As such, it should be well composed. If you read your work and feel like something is missing, something probably is.

• Must my English be rocket-science? No, but your work’s grammar should be impeccable. Read and re-read your work to ensure it reads perfectly. Do not overly insert jargon that would make it difficult for your readers to follow your story. Trust me if someone has to constantly Google the meaning of your words constantly, they just might leave your post alone; most synonyms work just fine. Hire an editor or use and editing software if you must.
• Which writing format should I use? Whereas Thrive Global does not have a recommended structure, it is important that you structure your work in a way that makes it easy for the reader to track his/ her progress.
