Editing

According to thefreedictionary.com, editing is “to prepare (written material) for publication or presentation as by correcting, revising or adapting.”  Editing involves reviewing content, structure, flow, word usage, grammar and punctuation to ensure the document is written in a clear and cohesive manner that is easy for the reader to follow.


Editing Checklist

Editing is not just about proofreading what is written to make sure everything is spelled correctly and all of the punctuation marks are in the right place.  It’s about reviewing a text to make it as impactful and readable as possible.  Trying to edit a piece as it’s being written is not usually recommended.  Typically, it’s best to write an entire draft before editing the work. When a draft is completed, the following should be reviewed during the editing process:
 
  • Content.  Make sure the information presented supports the argument the author is trying to make.  Adequate details should be used to back up the author’s key points.  
  • Order.  The content should be presented in a logical manner.  Each main point should be followed by supporting details.  And information should be written in the most appropriate order.
  • Transitions.  As the author moves from idea to idea, appropriate transitions help with the flow of information.  When used correctly, they facilitate a smooth transition from idea to idea.  When used incorrectly or not at all, the flow of information can seem abrupt and disjointed.
  • Word Usage.  Word choice should be based on the type and purpose of the piece.  The words should support the overall tone of the work and shouldn’t be overused.  Varying word usage helps keep the piece interesting and avoids redundancies.
  • Style and Tone.  The style and tone should vary depending on the type of work, target audience and where it will ultimately be published.  For example, a journal article will have a more formal and conservative tone than an article that will appear on a blog.

When it comes to editing a document you can either do it yourself or have someone else do it for you.  For small jobs such as memos or flyers, it probably makes sense to do it yourself.  But for larger jobs like manuscripts or lengthy brochures, it might be beneficial to have someone else take a look. 


Get Editing Help

As with anything, the more you practice editing, the better you get.  If you need help improving your editing skills, there are a variety of resources available.
 
  • Seminars.  Typically lasting a couple of days, seminars are a good way to brush up on editing skills quickly.
  • Classes.  Many colleges and universities offer semester-long courses in editing.
  • Tutor.  An editing tutor can provide comprehensive and customized lesson plans to guide students through the ins and outs of editing.
