We will also cover style, common structure, active versus passive voice, and first pronoun versus third pronoun usage. We will offer tips for avoiding problems such as excess jargon and unclear writing flow. In Part 2, we will briefly describe the publication process. (Part 1: 48 mins. Part 2: 19 mins.)
