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.
