What Is Persuasive Writing?

Apply persuasive writing deliberately to the situations in which that capability is relevant, with attention to the decisions, behaviours, or outputs that persuasive writing directly affects.

Why Does Persuasive Writing Matter?

Persuasive Writing matters when the outcome depends on doing more than the broad task itself; the specific capability described by persuasive writing can determine how accurately, clearly, efficiently, or appropriately the work is carried out.

What Does It Look Like?

Someone applying persuasive writing may:

  • uses persuasive writing deliberately rather than treating it as an automatic habit
  • checks the part of the result most affected by persuasive writing
  • adjusts the approach when the situation changes what persuasive writing requires

How to Develop Persuasive Writing

You can develop it by:

  • choose a real task where persuasive writing is clearly involved and define the result you want to improve
  • observe how a more experienced person handles persuasive writing and record the specific decisions they make
  • review one completed task and identify where stronger persuasive writing would have changed the result
