39 Editing Checklist:

The following is a self-checklist as you make final edits–from the Excelsior Owl: https://owl.excelsior.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/06/EditingChecklistInteractive2019.pdf

  • Have I checked to make sure the spell checker did not change any words to words I did not intend to write?
  • Have I looked closely at my sentences to see if any words are missing?
  • Did I review the rules for commas before editing for commas?
  • Did I review other rules for punctuation before editing for punctuation?
  • Is there something missing anywhere? Are all of my sentences complete?
  • Did I include citations for all of my borrowed information?
  • Have I tried reading my essay in reverse, from the last sentence, to help see each sentence on its own?
  • Have I tried reading my essay out loud to see how it sounds?
