Use this editing checklist for writers when you’re rewriting your book or short story.

Are you thinking about editing your own copy? Sometimes, we have to do this ourselves.

At Writers Write, we give our students a Rewriting Checklist as part of our Writers Write course. This helps to correct any obvious errors the writer may have made.

There are four types of book editing – developmental, substantive, line, and proofreading.

Unfortunately, we aren’t all able to afford the services of professionals who could do this for us.

The checklist below will help you correct common errors writers make in their first drafts.

[Top Tip: If you need practical help with your grammar, buy The Complete Grammar Workbook.]
