Reminder notes:
An author’s style is his or her particular way of writing. All writing has a style, regardless of whether it’s a novel or an editorial. Writers use these elements to create style:
Diction: Depending on purpose and audience, a writer may use highly formal words or more ordinary, easily understood words.
Length and Rhythm of Sentences: Some writers use simple, straightforward sentences, while others write longer, more elaborate sentences. These sentences can affect the mood of a piece and can leave a strong impression
on a reader.
Tone: The writer’s attitude toward the audience and subject can play a strong role in the voice he or she uses on the page.
