fiction/non-fiction writing (part one)

[hatimhussain]

Hello, Could you please check my draft in terms of grammar specially of pronouns. I have repeatedly used he/she in my draft which seems incorrect to me; I therefore will be much obliged if I am guided in this respect.

Writing something on any topic requires a writer to have ample knowledge of the topic he/she is writing about. Equally, he/she should be fully conversant with grammar and vocabulary. Faulty sentences rife with errors in tenses and inappropriate use of vocabulary will immediately make readers fed up and compel him/her to leave reading.

Writing can be categorized into two main parts i.e. fiction and non-fiction. Fiction writing includes unreal, imaginary writing whereas nonfiction involves real, factual writing based on facts and real events. Fiction writing may involve genres like horror, suspense, thrill, mystery to name a few; whereas non-fiction writing contains genres like essays, memoirs, biographies, and journalism. Scientific, technical and economic writings are also some of the topics of non fiction writing.

You can replace every "he/she" with "they" and then change the following verb form to the third person plural. It's a common usage to avoid the awkward "he/she" problem.
