  1. Good writing means putting yourself in your reader's shoes. Start with a title that indicates the content of the post (THE ROLE OF THE DISTRIBUTOR). Your first sentence is your topic sentence (state that you investigated distribution using the FDA's microsite www.launchingfilms.com). Thirdly, use appropriate formatting (no random underlining). Write in full sentences.
