I'm working as a 'marketing writer' in a software house. My job is to write contents for the commerical web sites usually for U.S. based clients. Now the problem is, I belong to Pakistan and we are taught British English as you may have noticed my writing sounds very traditional. Since I've to write for U.S clients i need to develop native like language structures...can anyone give me a clue or two so that i can enhance my writing technique? What would you suggest?
How to write native like American English?
Writing is pretty much identical as far as structure goes. The only real differences are spelling and a few different words. I read up to 12 American magazines a month and its rare that I really notice any difference in writing styles. American advertising does sometimes differ in its boldness and simplicity

The most obvious difference is spelling.
In formal written English, there are very few differences between BrE and AmE.

I agree, there shouldn't be much difference in formal British and American writing.
