写作辅助法（Paramedic Method ）最初由理查德·兰厄姆（Richard Lanham）在《修订散文》（Revising Prose）中提出，它可以帮助你修改润色任何类型的专业写作。使用写作辅助法修订你的专业写作可以使你的文章更容易阅读、语句更有有说服力、更以读者为中心（user-centered）。
每一个作者都知道清晰简洁写作的重要性。而实现以读者为中心、具有说服力的清晰写作的通用标准就是“写作辅助法”。这是一种易于学习、系统化的方法。在使用写作辅助法时，你可以通过删除不必要的单词来减少单词数量、删除被动语态和冗余来使语句顺畅。
✔ 按照以下七个步骤提高句子的可读性：
● 圈出介词（of、in、about、for、to、into）
● 在“is”动词形式周围画一个方框
● 问：“动作在哪里？”
● 将“动作”改为简单动词
● 把施动者作为主语
● 删除任何不必要的赘余收尾
● 删除任何重复冗余。
