Editing, Revising & Polishing Business Writing

What You Will Learn

Once you have drafted and composed your written communication, you can move into the editing stage. Editing is deciding what changes to make, revising is making the changes, and polishing is making the message sound good. One slipped word or one convoluted sentence can send a miscommunication and create a misunderstanding. Learn to avoid the pitfalls of wordiness, misplaced verbs and modifiers, unrepresented pronouns, inappropriate tone, unfortunate informality, ill-advised content, and other writing issues.
