Tone is the author’s attitude toward the topic. The author’s attitude is expressed through the words and details he or she selects. A subjective tone uses words that describe feelings, judgments, or opinions.

How do you describe tone?

In formal writing, your tone should be clear, concise, confident, and courteous. The writing level should be sophisticated, but not pretentious. In creative writing, your tone is more subjective, but you should always aim to communicate clearly. Genre sometimes determines the tone.
