You don’t have to be a Margaret Atwood to make great money as a freelance health writer, but you do need a fundamental grasp of grammar, composition, and voice. It’s the latter item we’re talking about today on The RN2writer Show.  

“Voice” can refer to a brand’s standard for the style in which it speaks to its target audience. For example, a brand voice can be irreverent or solemn or something in between.  

“Voice” also applies to a particular type of sentence construction. Specifically, when we write consumer health content we want to use “active voice,” not “passive voice.” But because nurses and other clinicians READ so much passive voice, they often struggle with this aspect of creating the type of content editors love.  

Let’s fix that today by showing you some easy ways to identify and root out passive voice in your writing.  

Host Elizabeth Hanes BSN RN built a six-figure writing business in her spare time. Today, she coaches other nurses how to become freelance writers through the RN2writer project.
