I have two years of experience in scholarly writing. Throughout the years, I continued to learn and sharpen my skills in academic writing. The experience has helped me grasp the fundamental requirements for a successful academic paper. I am now aware that the first step in scholarly writing is to understand the provided instructions and formatting style required. I am well vast in APA, Harvard, MLA, and Chicago formatting. The format should be correct and give the reader a sense of completeness and academic maturity. All these illustrate the need to read carefully each part of the instruction provided about the paper. I, therefore, never miss out on a single instruction.
