Robust support from June Writers Academy
Skills in focus:
Editing is the process of improving the content, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and flow of writing.
Everyone needs to edit their work.
Writers—and people in many professions—do self-editing as well as group editing.
June Writers Academy recommends a three-step process for self-editing once you’ve written your first draft:
Clean up the text enough that you can follow your own content/argument.
Focus on improving the quality and clarity of your content/argument. Ignore everything else.
Edit for words: spelling, punctuation, and grammar.
