Steps to Improve your writing skills
Grammatical Errors
You probably don't need us to tell you that errors in your document will make you look unprofessional. It is essential to learn grammar properly, and to avoid common mistakes that your spell checker won't find.
Once you know what you're writing, and for whom you're writing, you actually have to start writing.
Audience and Format
Start by identifying who will read your message. Is it targeted at senior managers, the entire human resources team, or a small group of engineers? With everything you write, your readers, or recipients, should define your tone as well as aspects of the content
Proofing
The enemy of good proofreading is speed. Many people rush through their documents, but this is how you miss mistakes.
Proof your headers and subheaders; Read the document out loud; Use your finger to follow text as you read; Proofread one sentence at a time, working your way from the end to the beginning.
