Writing is a basic means of communication and we have many reasons to choose to express our thoughts or requests in writing, rather than verbally. Usually, we write to make our thoughts official, to communicate with someone whom we do not know, or to communicate with a large number of people. All writing is about the intended reader, that is, the audience. Whether it's a book, song, movie, website, marketing brochure, grant proposal, or fundraising letter, the top priority for the writer to keep in mind is that the reader matters most.
