The document discusses reasons for low reading culture in society and proposes solutions. It identifies factors such as learning gaps in education, economic hardships, and poor writing quality as contributing to low reading. However, it argues that the main reason is poor writing quality, and that if authors produce high-quality works consistently, it could transform reading culture over time. The document promotes the concept of "masterpiece writing" and a writing revolution to address this. It asserts that everyone with sufficient life experiences could be an author and should strive to write masterpieces to improve reading habits in society.

5. Are these reasons really tenable from
the individual
perspective?
Really, from the individual point of
view, no reason is actually acceptable
for not engaging in reading and
learning due to its huge significance
and benefits.
Therefore, for each of the earlier
reasons for not reading, we may need
to burst the bubble for the average
person out there.

6. Let’s burst the BUBBLE(S)
Economic Crunch
(Why should I read
when I am hungry?)
Learning Gaps
(Why should I read
except to pass?)
Anti-Learning Fads
(How dare you say I
don’t read, when I surf

Poor Writing Quality
(What’s really there to
read?)
The fact that the economy is not currently favorable is the more reason
why you should read. It is through adequate knowledge (and expertise
acquired by it) that the tide will be turned in your favor – at least
personally, ensuring sumptuous meals on your table always. Maybe not
from today, but definitely from “tomorrow.”
Learning and cramming are miles apart. Learning is a continual process so you
actually don’t read to pass, you pass to read. If all you do is cram knowledge in
becoming an adult or professional – and completely stop opening books
afterwards - the world will not so appreciate the mediocre you would have
become.
With so many media options and availability of the gigantic information
base that the internet is, there is no excuse again for not reading. But you
really need to get down to business, not just while away your time on
frivolities (on these same media options). Why? It is true readers that
become real leaders! It is as simple as that.

7. One Bubble remains…
?
There is a challenge. There seems to be no answer for the “Poor
Writing Quality” from people’s angle. Why? The answer is not
hinged on the output of books and reading materials but rather
on the input. A special set of people – not the general populace will have to provide the answers. Who are they? Authors –
producers of books and other published works.

8. Mini Assertions
Based on the foregoing, the following assertions suffice: There are different
factors facing the reading culture in our society, already highlighted.
 It requires a drastic change of mindset and attitude from
individual readers to navigate their way to overcome these
problems. (It takes a lot more – something close to a revolution –
to rid the whole society of the ills of poor reading culture.)
 There is however one main problem that individual readers
cannot personally do anything about or be able to initiate
adequate measures against, which is poor quality writing.
 Written materials are not produced by the readers. They are
done by writers and authors. Readers are only served the input
and package of the authors in their books – good or bad.
 If authors keep serving the general populace with bad contents
and packaging, readers will continue to experience a disconnect
with proper learning and assimilation. Scale up the effects over
the whole members of society, then we have seriously poor
reading culture.
 No matter how much other factors can be in place, we will still
have a poor reading culture if authors don’t produce books and

9. Mega Assertion
That brings us to the main point of this presentation. Here is the
bombshell, the assertion of all assertions:
“The Reading Culture is low in our
Society because the Writing Quality is
low.” - Michael Omisore

10. Further Assertions
If writers and authors will up
their game - producing good
quality writings consistently - the
development will positively
impact on the other negative
factors, and thereby improve the
reading attitude in a space of
time, and if sustained will
completely transform the
attitude of the populace towards
books and published materials.
For there to be a remarkable
change in the reading culture in
our society, writers and authors
(in a moment you will see you are
not excluded) must do the
needful: Write Masterpieces.

11. It really has to do with writing
masterpieces…

12. What is Masterpiece Writing?
Masterpiece Writing is communicating your written piece
with intent, clarity and style. It is to make the average reader
readily get your message and give a nod of approval to its
essence and import, most brilliantly captivating his interest all
through the piece and at the end making him feel satisfied
about the whole content – like he just had the best of meals.
In other words, Masterpiece Writing is showcasing the
essence of your writing with a concept (an underlying notion)
that runs through the entire piece helping the reader to read,
assimilate and easily digest the contents with a very good
understanding of what it is all about.

Supply the ingredients: laying out your conceived insights and ideas as outlines
and jottings, drawing out the key points and arranging them in sequence.
22
Work your essence into shape: giving form to your writing by putting all jottings
under the key points and working each set to desired shape.
33
Draw your viewpoints: choosing an angle for your writing through which the
shapes or parts already formed are perceived from.
44
Sew the parts together: fusing the different parts of your writing together with a
thread of connecting lines, achieving a blend that runs through the entire piece.
55
Shed light & cast shadows: creating effects through word play that will translate
into beautiful contrasts & shades of expression transforming your writing as a
result.
66
Guard the flow: ensuring that your writing is smooth to read, flows with a
common theme, and is rid of monotony.
77
Watch your balance: proofing your writing for context errors and other excesses,
ensuring the right sequence is maintained.
88
Embellish the frames: creating a unique pattern with the structure of your
writing that will greatly aid reading and assimilation.
99
Put the icing: coming up with an underlying notion that will, on the overall, drive
the whole essence of your writing and leave a wonderful impact and impression
on every reader.

15. WHO Is Writing Masterpieces FOR?
You would say just authors. But before you
exclude yourself from this group because
you don’t see yourself as one, check out this
very last assertion, as eye-popping as the
mega one:
“Everyone 30 years and above (in any part of the world)
has garnered enough experiences, insights, knowledge or
ideas that can be packaged as a published material for a
particular target audience.”

16. Consider yourself an author…
Debatable? But it should at least jerk you to the reality of being a prospective author if
you are not one already. If you are not yet convinced, let’s take it from another angle:
Masterpiece Writing is for three categories of people (based on leaning and disposition
to writing), and you happen to belong to one of them:

articulating and presenting your
thoughts, ideas and experiences
