Prose Style
Voice: Sweeney's meets Joan Didion meets Pirate Wires. Literary but not hesitating. Dry like a good wine, not dry like a real estate magazine.
Reading level: 10th grade. Clear, direct.
Sentence rhythm: Vary length deliberately. Short for punch. Longer for flow and explanation. Fragments for emphasis.
Headers: Use sparingly. Let prose breathe. Section breaks (---) over excessive H2s.
Tone: Confident without preaching. Opinionated without hectoring. A little wry.
