Whether you are preparing for a conference presentation or drafting a
brief memo, writing is a process. This means that no document can be
written in one swoop; it always requires several levels of revisions
and edits. The following sources should be utilized throughout the
writing process:
1) COMPUTER - Always use your computer editing tools first, such as
spell check, grammar, punctuation, and style checks.
2) YOURSELF - Reread your writing several times to make sure that
sentences are structured properly and convey your ideas in the way
that you wish.
3) OTHERS – Ask your coworkers, friends, or family members for
feedback on your writing.
4) PROFESSIONALS – Consult professional editors when writing long
documents.
