Why do adults read?

To locate data
P.S. Some adults read for pleasure. But
unless you are writing novels, I do not
believe you are writing to meet that need.
What are adults
expecting
when they
read what you
have written?
I want to
learn… I want to do
something…
Please do
not waste
my time…
From your reader’s point of view…
• read
• understand,
and
• act on written
information.
plain language
allows them to
Press “escape” if you think your
writing does NOT give readers
what they expect…
Or let me help you plan a better escape route. I
offer these professional services to professionals
like you throughout North America:
 writing
 editing, and
 training to help
you communicate

language
