> Good tips/resources on writing?
Sure, no problem:
1. Read a whole lot. You can't write effectively unless, by reading, you find out what works. Time spent reading quality prose is never wasted.
2. Experiment with essay writing -- write an essay on a topic that interests you, then see if you can convey the same meaning in half the words.
3. Contrary to common belief, short, clearly written prose is better than long prose in which every subtlety is retained. As Strunk & White put it, "Make every word count."
> ... how do I "sell" my arguments without overselling them?
By understanding your readers. The single biggest mistake young writers make is not trying to picture their readers and their interests.
> So, any good tips/resources on how to write concise?
> I am struggling writing.
Also, pay attention to grammatical issues. There are glaring errors in the above two sentences.
