• Four Simple Steps for Editing Your Own Writing

  by Ali Luke

  We’ll be covering good editing practices for bloggers, concentrating on blog posts and pages, and also touching on longer forms of content such as ebooks. The four key steps we’ll go through are: (i) reading through your piece and making notes; (ii) editing the “big picture” (overall structure and content); (iii) editing the details (sentences and individual words); (iv) using formatting (bold, lists, subheads) to enhance your writing. We’ll focus on practical advice you can put into practice straight away. During the presentation, I’ll give you plenty of examples to help demonstrate the difference that editing makes to a piece of writing.

  Key Points
  1. Understand the importance of careful editing as part of the writing process.
  2. Learn practical, easy-to-implement tips for editing blog posts quickly.
