MASTER SELF-EDITING

This guide isn’t designed to teach you how to write.

You won’t learn the parts of a sentence or parts of speech.

It’s instead a guide that looks at some common mistakes, some things that often trip people up, and some things people often need help with. It will give your writing that extra polish needed to stand out.

  • Common grammatical errors (is it : or ;?)
  • How to fact-check 
  • Sentence syntax
  • DIY spell checking
  • Formatting pull quotes, lists, and links
  • Weaving quotes into an article
