What happens when we write for The Voice Magazine? For one, when we return to a university, we’ll be shocked at how well we write academically. Academics tend not to write exceptionally well, according to author Helen Sword. And one professor told me that graduate students tend to write inadequately. She included me in the description. However, as a result of writing for The Voice Magazine, I post my writing assignments a week early in my academic program, and they get consistent A+ grades. So, if we wish to improve our academic writing, I recommend writing for The Voice.
Writing two articles a week for The Voice, even in a casual tone, can groom us for success in a Ph.D. program. Previously, I didn’t achieve my goal of a Ph.D., especially after two years of sickness during graduate studies that impacted my writing ability. But I now realize I’d do well in a Ph.D. program, primarily because of writing for The Voice Magazine.
Writing two articles a week also prompts me to develop systems for the writing and editing processes. These systems make writing natural and fun. For instance, I use Grammarly not to rewrite my work but to edit my writing. Grammarly is also a learning tool that ensures my academic documents are pristine, a criterion for A+ papers. So, it’s a must-have tool that benefits academics.
Furthermore, my career role is more manageable with a better writing style. For instance, writing for The Voice Magazine helped me write better emails, contracts, and letters. As a result, I’ve received two pay raises and many perks at work, such as an hour of professional development each day and the ability to access Canada Alberta Job Grants. Next year, a $10,000 bonus system will be put in place. So, to excel in our careers, we should consider writing for The Voice Magazine.
Historically, while writing for The Voice Magazine, I read at least 7 to 10 books on the writing craft. And I wrote about those books in my articles, which served to improve my writing style. Plus, the editor of The Voice Magazine provided invaluable insights on how to write for clarity. Again, although my writing style may not seem remarkable, it translates well into academic writing.
Indeed, the ability to write in a conversational style also translates well in verbal communications, including sales and customer service. I once was so insecure about formulating grammatically error-free conversations that I could have been diagnosed with social anxiety. Writing for The Voice changed this dynamic.
The ultimate gift The Voice Magazine gave me was life. Had I not read and written articles on diet and nutrition—and got paid to do so—I may have ended up isolated, confined to a bed, unable to withstand noise, light, food, or even human interaction. And this dire state could have lasted for a decade, which occurs in some people with chronic fatigue. But thanks to The Voice, I now race laps with my loved one in the swimming pool twice weekly, perform martial arts, lift weights, and work a dream career. I can’t begin to express the scope of positives that writing for The Voice brought. It has led to my happiest days.
So, if illness prevents us from working, consider writing for The Voice. Or, if we aim to acquire a Ph.D. or accelerate our career, write for The Voice. But the ultimate reason to write for The Voice Magazine is it’s enjoyable, especially when we bring something positive to our readers’ attention.
