  • Think of a new angle on a familiar topic.
2. Crafting the article-
  • Research your article idea using sources like books and published texts
  • Locate individuals who could be good sources
  • Interview your sources
  • Transcribe your inters (type up your notes for the interview)
  • Create and article outline (plan)
  • Use a hook line first
  • Weave in quotes from experts or reliable sources
  • End on a strong concluding statement that illuminates or expands on your article topic.
3. Revising the article -
