Hey everyone,
This might seem a bit elementary, but here goes.
I've just graduated with a BA in English, but I feel I still haven't managed to tackle the academic difficulties I faced when I started my degree. Basically, I have no problem formulating complex arguments in essays, but I find that my written expression often lets me down. I've been told I write clearly, but what I want is to be able to write more convincingly. I want to pursue my studies in English as far as possible, so I figured I need to get these fundamentals sorted.
So what I'd like to know is:
What makes a a good critical writer?
What steps do I need to take to be able to write at the standard of a respected literary critic?
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks, everyone.
