How to improve the rhythm of your text – make it parallel.

This is a tip I picked up from Ryan Law’s editing course.

What is parallelism?

It’s the practice of using similar grammatical structures, patterns, or forms in sentences or phrases to create a balanced and rhythmic effect.

(Alliteration is the OG parallelism).

It’s simple. We all know it. Yet, forget it.

But it plays a crucial role in the flow.

So go over everything you write with the parallelism filter – and your pieces will become masterpieces.
