Tip 1: Annotate
Be an active reader. Instead of
passively reading a text, take notes about important story elements, key

Writing Style
Every author writes with
purpose, using deliberate methods to successfully relate specific information
to the audience. When you’re reading look for patterns in the author’s writing.
