Editing

Use punctuation to reveal relationships between actions, conditions, and examples instead of decorating the sentence.

Check names, numbers, punctuation, links, and the saved page after the main editing work is complete.

Find repeated explanations, empty framing, and unnecessary noun phrases without stripping the draft of evidence and context.

Check actors, actions, conditions, and emphasis before shortening a sentence. Includes an annotated before-and-after example.

Separate big-picture revision from wording and proofreading so polishing does not hide a weak argument.

Use a point, supporting detail, and a meaningful connection to build paragraphs that move the explanation forward.

Replace vague phrases, reveal the action, and explain necessary terms without oversimplifying the message.
