Key Concept
Have you told the best story you can tell? If so, you are ready to edit your essay. Editing is finding and correcting problems with writing mechanics, such as:

  • Spelling
  • Punctuation
  • Paragraphing
  • Capitalization
  • Sentence structure
  • Grammar
When editing, you can ask yourself questions such as:

  • Are all sentences complete and correct?
  • Do you see any sentence fragments or run-on sentences?
  • Do all subjects and verbs agree?
  • Do you have paragraph breaks that help move the story along?
  • Does your story include any spelling or typographical errors?
You may have memorable characters and an exciting plot. Your setting may create a mood that draws readers into the story. But poor writing mechanics can still make your narrative hard to read. Good writing mechanics help your readers stay interested in your story.

Word processing can help you edit your document. Use spelling and grammar tools to check your work. While these tools can help you edit your essay, they are not substitutes for your good judgment.
