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:

  1. Clean up the text enough that you can follow your own content/argument.

  2. Focus on improving the quality and clarity of your content/argument. Ignore everything else. 

  3. Edit for words.

When you edit on paper, use editing marks to track your needed corrections.
