So you want to be a writer? How can you be a good writer? It would be difficult to define a good writer with just one definition.

Writing is both an art and a science. Writing is an art as it has various styles and it is a science as you would use different techniques to write it.

However, there is much more to good writing than the common techniques used. [It depends on who your target audience is and whether you know your audience well]

The parameters of a good writer depend on the audience that will read it.

For example, the differences between the style that content writers use and the full-time style is that content writers mostly use first and second person; while a newspaper writer would use an objective tone (third person reporting). The language used is also different for different media.

The general criteria to determine if one is a good writer is to check if your article has a good flow, compelling content and language. Sentence structure, grammar, ideas, and the form used are some of the other factors that play an important role in determining whether one is a good writer.

However, there is no one way to tell who is a good writer.
