Thank you for sharing my post on How to structure academic writing. I hope it is helpful!
Brian, you might want to start reading some of these yourself. Your first paragraph is a clear demonstration that not everyone is a writer and it is a profession that requires expertise and commitment.
Lack of proofreading. This seems like thrown all together in a rush to publish something. “it indeeds catapults your career!” ???
Brian,
Your article is a great masterpiece. Direct to the point and highly
effective. I am going to implement this model and am very sure it will
triple my results.
Thanks a million
