How do I EDIT an Essay?


EDIT an Essay?
                                           
Editing is not the same as revising. 
Revising is the seeing again of your essay at the sentence-level, at the paragraph-level, and as a fully-formed essay. 
Editing is where you go through your essay and check for grammatical issues in word choice, spelling, and contraction use.

Edit Writing for…
Understand 1st, 2nd, 3rd Voice so that you can properly use them
Eliminate Improper Font Usage
Carefully Choose Your Word Choice for Academic/Professional Terms
Eliminate Clichés
Eliminate all Contractions
Eliminate Questions from your body-paragraphs


What is Editing?
Editing is a step in the Writing Process often dreaded by students due to their lack of grammatical knowledge. 

To be able to properly EDIT your work, you need to pay attention to the comments from previous writings you have submitted for review.   The feedback on those writings will let you know your common errors, and from there, you can begin looking for and modifying these errors in your writing.  Your instructors have taken time to review your writings and provide you with constructive feedback.  Do not overlook these comments as they will greatly improve your future writings—if you take the time to eliminate these issues.
