Explanation:
Referring to the "plume" does hint that she has good writing skills, but the more important word is "avisée", which indicates that she knows what she's talking about. Hope it helps.

knowledgeable writing


Explanation:
I agree with Sweeny that the accent has to be on "knowledgeable". Several possibilities depending on the exact sentence :
- skilled writing
- writing skills
- informed style
are just one or two suggestions.
