Tips for Writing Concisely
“Instant prose” can come from being forced to write papers of a particular length or being told that a paragraph must always contain exactly five sentences. This habit leads to the opposite of conciseness—wordiness in sentences and redundancy in paragraphs, which can confuse the reader and cloud your ideas.
Write what you mean—nothing more and nothing less.
Trust and respect yourself as a writer enough to not overstate what you mean.
Study sentences in your first draft to see what you can delete without losing meaning.
Read each paragraph aloud. Be sure that all sentences support the topic sentence.
Keep concrete, specific examples. Cut out extra words, empty phrases, weak qualifiers, negative constructions, and unnecessary “to be” verbs.
Also, watch for sentences and clauses beginning with it is, this is, and there are.
EXAMPLE 1
Wordy: The economic situation of Anne Moody was also a crucial factor in the formation of her character.
Concise: Anne Moody’s poverty also helped form her character.
EXAMPLE 2
Wordy: Frequently, a chapter in a book reveals to the reader the main point that the author desires to bring out during the course of the chapter.
Concise: A chapter’s title often reveals its thesis.
WEAK INTENSIFIERS & QUALIFIERS
Sentences are more forceful without them.
Notice how much clearer the following sentences are without the words in brackets:
We found the proposal [quite] feasible.
The remark, though unkind, was [entirely] accurate.
The scene was [extremely] typical.
That behavior is [fairly] unique for such an intelligent animal.
The first line [definitely] establishes that the father had been drinking.
SPECIFIC & CONCRETE Make sure that sentences are specific and concrete in their conclusions instead of raising more questions:
Wordy: In both Orwell’s and Baldwin’s essays, the feeling of white supremacy is very important. (This raises the questions: How is it important? Why?)
Concise: Both Orwell and Baldwin trace the consequences of white supremacy. (This revision states its point conclusively.)
"TO BE" Avoid unnecessary use of “to be” verbs:
Wordy: There are two pine trees which are growing behind this house.
Concise: Two pine trees grow behind this house.
REDUNDANT WORDS/PHRASES
Wordy: Any student could randomly sit anywhere.
Concise: Students could sit anywhere. (If they could sit “anywhere,” seating was clearly “random.”)
NEGATIVE CONSTRUCTIONS TO POSITIVE
Wordy: Housing for married students is not unworthy of consideration.
Concise: Housing for married students is worthy of consideration.
SIMPLIFY
Wordy: This is a quote from Black Elk’s autobiography that discloses his prophetic powers.
Concise: This quote from Black Elk’s autobiography discloses his prophetic powers.
