Writer Lev Grossman’s advice for aspiring writer is “Write write write. Writing is a craft not a gift. You have to practice“. Writing content for beginners’ appears to be hard even for accomplished writers.
In a recent tweet, Rachel Andrew wrote that writing beginner content is really hard and that’s why very few people write.
This. Writing good beginner content is hard. Very few people can do it really well, without making assumptions or coming across as as a bit patronizing. https://t.co/GYa5XA5WpY

In the following twitter thread of Ashley Willis, others react and seem to agree.
Someone told me that their content doesn’t get respect because it’s beginner content.
Do you know how deep your expertise has to be to create great content for a beginner audience? It takes true skill and empathy — I’ll fight anyone who shits on beginner content.

So, practice, practice and more practice.
