As a professional writer, one of your main objectives is to build an audience of engaged readers. The last thing you want to do is make it feel like a chore for your readers to read your work.

One of the most common mistakes I see new writers make is failing to leverage white space in their articles to make their work easier to read.

White space in writing refers to the absence of text or images in an article. Having white space is visually appealing and makes the writing easier to read, especially for someone reading on a phone or mobile device.

In this article, I am going to review how you can easily introduce more white space into your work and make it easier for your readers to engage with your writing.

Don’t make reading your writing a chore

This is especially true if you publish long-form articles that are consistently over 1,500 words. If you want your readers to invest their time reading your work, it must be an enjoyable experience for them.
