Here are some suggestions that might help you improve the quality of your writing:

Read, CAREFULLY, the chapter on style in the most recent version of the APA publication manual. Take the suggestions offered in that chapter seriously.

As you write your manuscript, think carefully about each (and every) sentence you write. Does it convey, clearly, what you want it to convey? Is the sentence necessary (if not delete or revise it)? Does it repeat what you have written elsewhere? If it does, then if it does not elaborate or clarify what you have written earlier, delete it. There is no need to pad the manuscript.

Think about the vocabulary you use. Are words (especially adjectives, adverbs, verbs, and nouns) the correct words for conveying the meaning you want? Pay particular attention to subject-predicate agreement (sometimes the subject is separated from the predicate by several words. In some cases, it may even help to roughly diagram your sentence) and to tense (generally, everything that has already occurred should be written in past tense). Consult a dictionary frequently!

Carefully, and deliberately, re-read each paragraph. Use the same criteria you use when reading individual sentences.

Once you have gone through the manuscript following these suggestions, repeat the process a second time.

Have someone else read the manuscript out loud to you. Often, when you hear someone else read what you have written, you will notice inconsistencies or detect sections in the manuscript that do not convey clear meaning.
