Author note.
Essay style = Explore. Personal, and lively using me, you, and I freely.
With an essay voice, you are writing to a friend. It is more personal and exploratory. Talk to the reader even more than article style. More first and second person, more rhythm, more warmth, and more guidance, as in, “I think Socrates wants you to…” Write reflective, engaging, and land on enjoyable reading and real advice.
And now the piece.
