What Makes a Good Quality Writer?

Writing and Speaking

This article is dedicated to Jane Yolen and Ray Bradbury (in memoriam).

A good writer writes something which is, by definition, challenging. He tests your ideas or beliefs. He challenges your vocabularies and personal history.

He challenges our comfortable morality. He challenges our linearity. He challenges our basic ideas about language.

A good writer passes on knowledge or wisdom to readers. He helps you to grow as a person. He helps you to connect more deeply with yourself. He reveals the truth about something.

writer is a person who uses written words in different styles and techniques to communicate ideas. Writers produce different forms of literary art and creative writing such as novels, short stories, books, poetry, plays, screenplays, teleplays, songs, and essays as well as other reports and news articles that may be of interest to the public. Writers’ texts are published across a range of media. Skilled writers who are able to use language to express ideas well, often contribute significantly to the cultural content of a society.

The term “writer” is also used elsewhere in the arts and music – such as songwriter or a screenwriter – but as a standalone “writer” normally refers to the creation of written language. Some writers work from an oral tradition.
