Video from The High-Value Writing Workbook - Page 36
Which would you prefer to read: bulleted lists or long paragraphs? Which style wins?
Readers love it when writers create bulleted lists in their business or professional writing because they make reading clear and easy! Help your reader by writing bulleted lists instead of long paragraphs in your business, professional, or academic writing whenever you find the opportunity!
You can also use bulleted lists in your academic writing. You may need to incorporate a list into a report or article, for example. You can even use bulleted lists in your personal life, for keeping lists or giving family members action items! 😜
The key to using bulleted lists well is to make sure they don't confuse your reader at any point.
Readers need clear bulleted lists that:
begin with a lead-in sentence
"match" one another grammatically
use punctuation according to whether you're listing items or full sentences
At the end of this video, you'll learn a 5-second hack to easily check your bulleted lists for correct grammar in any situation!
