What Your Favorite Writing Style Says About You as a Writer

John Edwin

--

Ever wondered why certain types of writing feel natural to you? Whether you're drawn to poetic prose, sharp satire, or compelling journalism, your preferred writing style reveals a lot about your personality, motivations, and strengths as a writer. Here, we’ll explore five popular writing styles and what they reveal about your inner author, plus how knowing your style can shape your writing career.

1. The Storyteller: You Crave Connection and Emotion

If you gravitate toward narrative or literary fiction, filling your writing with imagery, emotions, and complex characters, you're a born storyteller. Storytellers thrive on creating worlds that draw readers in, inviting them to see, feel, and live through the narrative.

What This Says About You:

Emotional Depth: You have an incredible ability to tap into emotions—both yours and your readers’. You likely enjoy getting to the heart of human experiences and bringing complex, multi-dimensional characters to life.

Empathy:

With strong empathy skills, you write to understand and connect with others. Your writing is driven by a desire to explore relationships, motives, and conflicts that are universal yet deeply personal.
