Do you know how to edit? 

The steps to writ­ing a good paper, whether research, fic­tion, or per­sua­sive, include many lay­ers of edit­ing.  The first edit­ing step is self-edit­ing.  Before hand­ing your rough draft to anoth­er per­son to edit, you need to first take some proac­tive steps and edit your own paper. 

Our edit­ing work­shop course is ten lessons divid­ed into 2 units.   The first unit focus­es on the mechan­ics of writ­ing.  These basics are nec­es­sary and should be cov­ered before pro­gress­ing into unit 2.  Unit 2 devotes its time to the style of writ­ing.  We address some of the most basic tools used to con­vert a bor­ing paper into a masterpiece. 

In this course, Aman­da and Lori walk you through these ten skills to prac­tice in order to self edit your paper.  These steps are easy, but try­ing to imple­ment them all at once before each has been mas­tered can be tedious.  We rec­om­mend tak­ing time to mas­ter each step as you progress in your jour­ney to write great papers. 

So go get your most recent paper, a pen­cil, and join us as we jump into the first step to edit­ing your paper.
