Important Tips On How To Edit And Revise Your Essay Properly by davidmartin1: 6:31am On Aug 27, 2021
What is the most underrated and ignored part of essay writing? Any thoughts? Yes, you guessed it right. It is revision. You must be thinking that revision and proofreading are similar terms however, in reality, they aren’t the same. Fixing spelling errors along with punctuation and grammatical errors is called proofreading. However, revision is a much broader term that incorporates errors in the content, referencing, and many more "essay writer". If you only proofread your essay and ignore the errors such a weak thesis statement, predictable ideas, reoccurring of the same ideas throughout the essay, then it will be considered as a Band-Aid on a wound caused by a bullet. Remember! Revision is imperative. It will help in polishing and refining your essay so that you can submit an essay that can help you attain good grades. So, without wasting your let’s skim through the steps below and kick start your process of revision.

Take some time off

I know you must be thinking why am I suggesting you take some time off. Well, to do the revision a proper mindset is required. Therefore, if you start the revision process soon after writing your essay then you are prone to skipping the important details and errors that can cost you your grades.

Decide your medium

Some people like to type their essays using computers while some are old school and prefer writing. When it comes to revising it is imperative that you decide your medium before you start revising.

If you like to work on computers then you can alter the text size, change the color of the text, or change the format of your essay. This is a good way to trick your brain into thinking that the essay is new. On the contrary, if you want to revise your work on a printed copy then you can underline or highlight the text. 

Ask questions

You need to make a list of questions that usually come across your mind before you read an essay. Ask yourself, have you followed all the instructions given to you by the professor? Is your paper formatted correctly? Examine the flow of your essay and then make corrections. Look for sources. Is your source authentic? Is it peer-reviewed? If you skim through your essay, then you will see whether the references used in the essay are matching the content and are relevant or not. 

Break the essay

It is not mandatory that you revise all your work in just one go. Instead, break the essay in a few paragraphs and then look for errors and make corrections accordingly. It is important that you check every important term whether the term you have defined is clear or sound ambiguous while reading "essay writing service". If you feel a certain paragraph isn’t making any sense, then feel free to chop it because readers are smart and they can figure out the issues in the content and also they aren't interested in reading irrelevant content. However, make sure that after correcting your essay your body paragraphs are in a proper flow.

Don’t rely on online grammar checker tools

Many students after they type their essays run it through the online grammar checker tools and think that they have done revising their essays. Well, sorry to disappoint you but you can’t solely rely on grammar checker tools. These tools can spot a few errors but can fix sentence fragmentation issues, punctuations, pronouns errors, and many more. Therefore, you should read your paper yourself and then revise it.

Proofread

This step is crucial but often ignored by the students. Once you are done revising your essay it is the time to look for spellings, punctuations, and other grammatical errors. you are required to read the sentence slowly and then pint out the errors.

Take help

It is better to take a second opinion because no matter what you do if you have written an essay yourself then you tend to remember the nitty-gritty of it. So looking for errors can be hard. Therefore, it is recommended that you take help from someone else. Ask your peers to read your essay and let them point out the errors. After they are done you can then easily revise your essay.

Feeling helpless and not sure how to revise your essay? If yes, then I have another solution for you. All you have to do is look for an authentic essay writing company and let their professional writers help you revise your essay. Sounds amazing right. So what are you still waiting for? If I were you I would have contacted the writing company now and let my work be revised by the professionals.
