Effective writing skills are to a writer what petrol is to a car. Like the petrol and car relationship, without solid skills you cannot move ahead. These skills don’t come overnight, and they require patience and determination. You have to work  hard to acquire them.  Of course, effective writing requires a good command of the language in which you write or want to write, but sometimes even more important than that, you need to learn some tips and tricks so that you use the language you have in the most appropiate way.
Are you ready to make the effort?
Here you’ll find a number of resources to improve your writing skills.
