  • Abstract
    A methodical audience identification approach called a prewrite is proposed to reduce the need for rewriting a document. To prewrite, the writer must write a statement of the purpose of the document and a statement identifying both the intended audience and the implications of writing to that audience. Five questions the writer must answer about the audience are given, and information on audience identification and the needs of particular audiences is included
