Upon knowing that you are going to write an informational material for your audience, the first thing that comes up with your mind is that you have to dig for more information that are relevant to your given topic. That�s really true especially if you are not that sure of what�s your topic all about.
Besides, you can also learn out of it. Being a write should always know and understand more about his written topic before letting you audience read it first. It�s like sharing what you�ve learn towards your readers by understanding what you had written for them.
Writing informational pieces for a North American audience is just the same thing. You need to write a piece where all of your audience can easily understand and digest that knowledge well. You never knew who your audiences are. There are those who are younger than you, who are older than you, who are students, professionals, fast and slow learners. Whatever their current status in the community, it is very important as a writer to let all your readers cope up and understand your piece easily.
When writing informational material for a specific audience, it�s highly-recommended that you take into account your readers� particular habits and attitudes. For North American readers, this usually entails endowing your material with very specific characteristics.
State your main subject directly. Ever read a piece of writing that kept you guessing what it�s about till the third paragraph? Most US audiences hate that. In fact, I think most people from any country do so, as well. That�s why you�re encouraged to state your point directly right in the first paragraph. Even better, if you can let the reader know what it�s about from the title, you�re golden.
You can check your work first and revise certain parts that seem to be long and indirect. Support your ideas or statements with facts and write it concisely.
Be direct. Informational pieces are meant to impart facts, not flowery prose. As such, it�s best to be direct when presenting details to your audience. While it�s fine to take some creative liberties, watch out not to make it difficult to wrap one�s head around. Always remember that you wrote in order for you to inform. Therefore, write well and effectively so that you could deliver your message towards your audience well.
Be conversational. Conversational tone works very well for imparting information. That�s because it lends your writing an approachable feel when you treat your audience as equals, rather than as students. It�s not that difficult � if you keep a friendly tone, you should do fine.
Work towards clarity. To successfully impart information, you have to write clearly. As such, you�ll need to focus on achieving clear and pointed text. Use the usual English constructs that help promote this, from using active verbs to stating the subject at the start of each sentence. In the same vein, employ a grammar software to clean out potential problems in spelling, word use and statement construction.
