How do I write a good article?
• Provide practical, unbiased information. Avoid long narratives, tax history, and sensational language.
• Use plain English. Avoid legalese and flowery language. Remember that most readers are not accountants.
• Limit discussion of personal experiences or cases. Refer to a personal experience or case only if it helps explain a concept or provides a good example of what's discussed in the article. Don't discuss the specific dollar values or names of individual tax situations you helped resolve.
• Don't promote yourself. Consumers trust Find a CPA's website because it is not filled with self-promotional material. (If you are a member, you can tell readers all about yourself in your profile.)
• Write a good first paragraph. The first paragraph should state what the article is about and offer a conclusion (when appropriate) so that readers can decide right away if the article will answer their question. Don't start with a case or client story.
• Keep paragraphs short. When possible, use subject headings to break up paragraphs, and use bulleted lists when including a list of items or issues.
• Be willing to revise. The best writing comes from several "eyes" and revisions. Find a CPA's expert editors will edit your article and may request revisions.
