142. Style vs. Substance. Which Matters More?
Show Notes

You may be wondering whether you should focus more on style or on substance when writing. The truth is, both are important — but the substance is more important. If there’s urgency, passion, and relevance in your writing, your readers will excuse a mediocre style. However, the best of style will not make for poor content. If people cared about style above anything else, more people would be reading poetry.
