Effective writing focuses on the reader rather than the writer by addressing the reader's point of view, wants, and ego. It emphasizes the benefits for the reader, uses a positive tone, and shows appreciation for the audience through correct etiquette. Rather than focusing on "me," successful writing adopts a "you" attitude that places the reader at the center of the message.
