Would you like to know how to start writing articles? You could write articles for wikiHow or perhaps your school newspaper. It is not difficult! Follow the steps outlined here and in no time you will be writing your articles!
Steps
Step 1. Before you start writing your article, write down the ideas that come to your mind
It's a way to get started and not to forget what you want to include in the text.
Step 2. Ask for advice from your family or friends who share your ideas
Their reactions to what you want to express could help you and provide you with useful points of view on the topic you want to discuss.
Step 3. Start with an introduction
It is a way to capture the reader's attention and introduce the topic that you will cover in the article.
Step 4. Use the paragraphs to develop the content of the article
The paragraphs will form the central "body" of the article and will contain details, examples and other useful information to fully explain your ideas on the subject.
Step 5. Give facts to support your ideas
You can also include statistics, graphs, tables, etc.
Step 6. If possible, add photos
Step 7. Close the article with a firm and well-founded conclusion
The conclusion should give a sense of completeness to the article and reinforce what you intend to communicate.
Advice
- Make the article fun: if the reader finds it boring, they will stop reading it halfway through.
- Some publishers may (for various reasons) reject your articles at first. But don't be discouraged, you will improve with time and practice!
- If you include quotes or information gathered from other sources, always specify where they come from.
