What Are the Different Types of Writing Styles?

Writing is not one size fits all. Sometimes, you need to be creative, and other times, you need to be objective. That's why there are various writing techniques, each serving a different purpose. The writing style usage varies according to the target audience. Therefore, assess what the situation requires and choose the style to help achieve your goal, gaining more credibility and reliability as an author. Moreover, do not limit your artistry and creativity by sticking to just one style. It's best to expand your knowledge and work with various writing types if you want to improve as a writer. Following are the different types of writing styles and when you should use each: The narrative writing style is storytelling in a nutshell - a group of words takes readers on a compelling journey from the beginning to the end. It could be a small anecdote or an epic tale spanning over many years or a few hours. Narrative writing utilizes standard storytelling components such as captivating plots, main characters, various conflicts, raw emotions, core themes, setting, etc. However, narrative writing is not only limited to the land of fiction and fantasy. It serves an important function in depicting real-life incidents, making narrative writing quite factual as well.

Types of Narrative Writing
There are many ways to go about narrative writing. Following are the main approaches writers choose to narrate their story:

1. Descriptive Narratives
A narration that provides detailed insights about an incident or event, so the readers feel the mood and visualize the setting falls into the category of descriptive narratives. The usage of words should be as vivid as possible.

2. Linear Narrative
A linear narrative tells events and incidents in chronological order. The writer details a character's life from beginning to end, how they were and what life has become for them.

3. Non-Linear Narrative
A non-linear narrative tells a story in an unorderly manner, with events jumping back and forth. It can include flashbacks, flashforwards, or dream sequences.

4. Viewpoint Narrative
In a viewpoint narrative, a narrator presents the story to the readers in a first-person perspective to understand the feelings, thoughts, beliefs of the character whose point of view is being represented.

Examples of Narrative Writing - Some examples which utilize narrative writing includes:

Novels
Short Stories
Plays and Musicals
Narrative Poetry (epic sagas and poems)
Biographies
Autobiographies
Comics
Speeches

Persuasive

If you want to get your message across, persuasive writing is the way to go. Its goal is to share your point respectfully and thoughtfully, convincing the readers of your ideas and opinions. The significance of evidence is high here as you cannot expect to persuade people just by stating your views. The content needs to be backed up by hard, statistical facts, testimonial evidence, anecdotal evidence, etc.
Persuasive writing is mainly used in nonfiction and seldom in fiction. It has a subjective nature, and many times the writer incorporates personal emotions and feelings to convince the readers.

Types of Persuasive Writing
Persuasive writing is further divided into three different types:

1. Appeal To Reason Persuasion – Logos
Logos is a Greek word that means appealing to reason or logic. In this type of writing, the author uses statistical evidence to persuade the readers of your beliefs and arguments.

2. Appeal To Character Persuasion – Ethos
In this type of persuasion, the author uses personal characteristics and virtues to capture the reader's attention. The knowledge is sidetracked by the persona and status of the speakers, for example, celebrity-endorsed advertisements.

3. Appeal To Emotion Persuasion – Pathos
Pathos persuades the audience by evoking emotions and feelings, such as sympathy and anger in them.

Examples of Persuasive Writing: This persuasive writing style can be seen in:

Essays
Speeches
Presentations
Advertising
Copywriting
Cover Letters
Letters of Recommendation
Op-eds

Descriptive
A descriptive piece of writing entails that the author includes every tiny aspect of the characters, settings, and events. It makes the reader feel that they are living the story and are actually present in the moment. Descriptive writing uses a first-person viewpoint, painting a clear and detailed picture in the reader's mind. The aim is to merely describe things well and not try to persuade the audience of anything. It can be used with narrative writing to build a scene.

Types of Descriptive Writing - Some of the types of descriptive writing are as follows:

1. Character Descriptive Writing
The author describes the main character in great detail, including their physical features, characteristics, habits, mannerisms, etc., so the reader can visualize the person as much as possible.

2. Object Descriptive Writing
The author focuses on describing objects, mainly by metaphorical term usage.

3. Scene Descriptive Writing
The author sets a scene using sensory details of the vision, touch, smell, etc. A place is described in such a way that the audience can picture it fully.

Examples of Descriptive Writing - Descriptive writing includes the following:

Poems
Song Lyrics
Fiction
Memoirs
Copywriting
Travel Guides

Expository

Expository writing is informative, with the purpose of explaining or teaching something to the audience. The information is objective and not based on personal opinions and beliefs instead focuses on factual data about a topic. In short, it exposes an idea, and the aim is to impart as much knowledge as possible. It answers any or all questions the reader has about a particular subject, such as what, why, when, who, where, and how. It takes a simple approach with no legal and technical jargon so that a beginner can easily understand it. It is written in a third-person perspective.

Types of Expository Writing:

1. Cause and Effect Oriented
This type of expository writing explains why something is happening and the outcome it will bring.

2. Problem and Solution Oriented
Here, the writer highlights a problem, gives solutions, and tells the reader how to implement them.

3. Compare and Contrast Oriented
In this type of writing, the author features comparison, discussing similarities and differences between two or more things.

Examples of Expository Writing: Some examples where you can use expository writing style are:

Textbooks
Technical or scientific writing
How-To Articles
Training manuals
News stories
FAQ slogs
Recipes

Words help us get our messages, ideas, thoughts, and imagination across people. Their effectiveness depends on the writing style we opt for. There are four main writing styles: narrative, descriptive, persuasive, and expository, each with a different aim. It's crucial as a writer to understand each writing style's purpose. Once you are familiar with them, you can use them accordingly.
