Unlock the Secrets Editors Don’t Want Writers to Know: Transform Your Drafts Today!

BONUS TIP: Review to Perfection

I like to follow a five-step process for editing:

1. Read the entire text.
2. Second pass focuses on substance. Does the piece need deep changes, like repairs to plot holes?
3. Third review focuses on word choice, sentence structure, and readability.
4. Fourth pass is proofreading (checking for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and typos). This is where I read out loud, slowly.
5. Final review and polish.

I repeat step five until I can’t find anything to improve. This is a rough guideline for editing. Some pieces need more; others need less. I might do one pass focused on dialogue. You’ll find that every piece of writing has its own needs. Be flexible so you can meet those needs and produce polished work.
