Tone in writing refers to the attitude or feeling conveyed by a writer towards the subject matter and audience. Tone is conveyed through word choice, sentence structure, punctuation, and overall language usage. Writers will ensure their tone is appropriate for the text’s purpose, audience and form. Writers will adapt specific language features and rhetorical devices to match the tone of their writing.
