How to Plan, Organize, and Research a Writing Project
Whether you are following a self-initiated idea or you are pursuing an assigned writing project, the following steps are a systematic approach that ensures a topic is thoroughly researched, balanced, and if required, offers various perspectives.
These steps are not only useful for nonfiction writing but can also be applied to fictionalized work. For example, fiction writers may want to explore and present an authentic event, personality, process, or method for their stories.

How to Self-Edit
Although it’s best have a trained editor look at a large writing project before a submission, the next best recourse is to ask someone to read your material and provide constructive comments.
If you find yourself in the position that you must write and edit your work without benefit of another pair of eyes, then systematically borrow the strategies that professional editors employ.

Inverted Pyramid Writing
Generally, expository writing is a solid approach for information delivery. The writer uses the exposition approach to “neutrally” select and arrange verified ideas, statements, and facts that inform readers about the substance, relationship, and meaning of a certain topic.
Expository writing that requires a precise summary technique can employ a journalistic technique and format called the “Inverted Pyramid”.
Inverted Pyramid writing is a flexible format that can be used for news casts, print and online articles, reports, and letters. It is widely used for writing web content.
