Writing Styles

Writing is usually divided into three styles that defines function. They are:

  • Creative Writing
  • Journalistic Writing, and
  • Professional Writing.

Creative writing is a process of creating art. It fires the imagination to arouse images of times, places and peoples. Some of these times, places and peoples do not exist except in the mind of the author. He or she uses words to incite our imaginations to make wizards conjure, horses fly, or heroes larger than life.

Journalistic writing is life if creative writing is art. Journalistic writing conveys, in a concise manner, what is happening at the moment. It transmits information quickly from the most important occurrence in a set of facts to the least important occurrence. Journalistic writing is applicable to print and broadcast media.

Professional writing is most notably performed in connection with technical papers, business plans, and even web design. It conveys factual information with its background research and support documentation.
