Written style refers to the way an author uses language and structures sentences in written communication. It encompasses elements such as tone, word choice, sentence structure, organization, and overall writing technique.
Written style is like fashion sense for writing. Just as individuals have their unique style in clothing, authors have their distinct style in writing that reflects their personality and purpose.
Rhetoric: The art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing.
Syntax: The arrangement of words and phrases to create well-formed sentences in a language.
Voice: The individual writing style that conveys the author's personality and perspective.
