When you have plenty of time to revise, use the time to work on your paper and to take breaks from writing. If you can forget about your draft for a day or two, you may return to it with a fresh outlook. During the revising process, put your writing aside at least twice—once during the first part of the process, when you are reorganizing your work, and once during the second part, when you are polishing and paying attention to details.

Use the following questions to evaluate your drafts. You can use your responses to revise your papers by reorganizing them to make your best points stand out, by adding needed information, by eliminating irrelevant information, and by clarifying sections or sentences.

Find your main point.

What are you trying to say in the paper? In other words, try to summarize your thesis, or main point, and the evidence you are using to support that point. Try to imagine that this paper belongs to someone else. Does the paper have a clear thesis? Do you know what the paper is going to be about?

Identify your readers and your purpose.

What are you trying to do in the paper? In other words, are you trying to argue with the reading, to analyze the reading, to evaluate the reading, to apply the reading to another situation, or to accomplish another goal?

Evaluate your evidence.

Does the body of your paper support your thesis? Do you offer enough evidence to support your claim? If you are using quotations from the text as evidence, did you cite them properly?

Save only the good pieces.

Do all of the ideas relate back to the thesis? Is there anything that doesn't seem to fit? If so, you either need to change your thesis to reflect the idea or cut the idea.

Tighten and clean up your language.

Do all of the ideas in the paper make sense? Are there unclear or confusing ideas or sentences? Read your paper out loud and listen for awkward pauses and unclear ideas. Cut out extra words, vagueness, and misused words.

Visit the Purdue OWL's vidcast on cutting during the revision phase for more help with this task.

Eliminate mistakes in grammar and usage.

Do you see any problems with grammar, punctuation, or spelling? If you think something is wrong, you should make a note of it, even if you don't know how to fix it. You can always talk to a Writing Lab tutor about how to correct errors.

Switch from writer-centered to reader-centered.

Try to detach yourself from what you've written; pretend that you are reviewing someone else's work. What would you say is the most successful part of your paper? Why? How could this part be made even better? What would you say is the least successful part of your paper? Why? How could this part be improved?

How to Revise: A Step-by-Guide to Revising Your Writing

Revising is the stage of the writing process after the first draft where you improve what you wrote with additions, removals, corrections, and rephrasing. Typically, it is the final stage before completion and the writer’s last chance to fix any mistakes. 

Some consider revising to be the most important part of writing, even more important than creating the first draft. That’s why we want to explain how to revise drafts—so your writing can be at its best. Below, we cover how to revise effectively with a step-by-step revising plan plus a revising example so you can see how it’s done.  Give your writing extra polish Grammarly helps you communicate confidently Write with Grammarly

What is revising, and what is its purpose?

Revising is the part of editing that incorporates “big-picture” changes like altering the main topic, reorganizing the order of paragraphs, or modifying the work’s structure. Additionally, it involves detailed changes like perfecting word choice, cutting out redundancies, rephrasing, and fixing grammar and spelling mistakes. 

Why bother revising? When writing a rough draft, it’s hard to focus on every aspect of your writing all at once. Revising gives you a second chance to zoom out and catch mistakes you missed the first time, plus reading a rough draft can reveal some mistakes you hadn’t anticipated. 

No matter which type of essay you’re writing, the methods for revising an essay still tend to follow the same guidelines, covered in the next section. Narrative and fiction writing also use many of the same revision standards, but these have additional literary concerns, such as characterization, imagery, and plot. 

How to revise writing: a step-by-step guide

1 prepare to revise.

Once you’ve finished your rough draft , it’s time to get ready to revise. The revision process will be more effective if you follow a few basic steps beforehand. 

First, take a break from writing after the first draft. Taking a break after the rough draft lets your brain rest so that you can later approach your writing with fresh eyes. If you can, try sleeping on it and starting the revisions the next day. 

Hitting pause before revising gives you a chance to conduct some extra research. While we recommend doing the bulk of your research before the outline , you’ll find that actually writing the paper may reveal new questions or points of interest you hadn’t considered before and that you might want to explore through additional research.

Finally, we recommend getting someone else to read and critique your first draft for a fresh perspective. Often writers miss glaring mistakes or problems because they’re so focused on the details; having a third party review your draft without any preconceptions can help identify problems you might miss on your own.  

2 Reexamine the topic

To begin revising, take a “funnel” approach—start with the most general areas and then gradually focus more on the specifics. With those in mind, your next step should be reexamining the most general aspects of your topic. 

When writing for an assignment, you want to make sure your topic satisfies all the requirements. Often while you’re writing, topics tend to stray from what they were supposed to be. An essential part of revising is making sure that your topic stays on point from beginning to end. 

If your topic did stray, you may want to change topics to better fit what your first draft focused on. For example, let’s say your original topic was the benefits of clean energy, but during the rough draft you spent a lot of time writing about the harm of fossil fuels. You might want to change your overall topic to be a comparison paper between clean energy and fossil fuels instead of just focusing on clean energy. 

Pivoting from one topic to another is not as difficult as it may seem. Most of it, specifically rewriting your thesis statement and introduction to reflect the changes, involves things you know from learning how to start an essay . 

3 Revise the structure

After the topic, the next most-general aspect of writing is its structure. This encompasses the order in which your paper discusses its points, such as the arrangement of paragraphs or sections. 

Structure can be difficult to get exactly right in the outlining phase before you’ve actually put words down. After the rough draft is completed, you’ll be able to see firsthand how each paragraph flows into the next and how certain arguments fit before and after each other. That makes it easier to notice any structural mistakes that eluded you before. 

When you revise, take a deep look at the order in which you make your points, and see if you can rearrange them in a way that’s clearer and a more logical or poignant expression of your message. It helps to look at the topic sentences of each paragraph so you don’t get sidetracked with the details from supporting sentences. 

If reorganizing still doesn’t fix the problem, consider adding a new paragraph or section. Revising isn’t just about changing what’s already there; it’s also about adding what’s missing. Sometimes a new section can fill in the gap and make transitions between existing sections flow better. 

Likewise, if an entire paragraph or section seems superfluous or tangential, feel free to cut it completely. It’s never easy to cut something you spent effort writing, but in the grand scheme of your paper, removing weak areas can strengthen what remains. Just don’t cut anything necessary to your central argument. 

4 Polish the wording

When most people think about revising, they think about polishing the wording . For the most part, the idea of the sentence remains the same, but some of the words are changed to make the message stronger or the communication more efficient. 

We covered what exactly to change in our previous guide on self-editing tips , but in general, you want to tighten up the writing by cutting the unnecessary words and making the necessary words more potent. Here’s a quick list of the most significant red flags:

• Redundancy: Using multiple words that mean the same thing
• Inefficient phrasing: Phrases that can be replaced with fewer words
• Overused sentence structure : Using the same sentence structure over and over
• Passive voice: The passive voice is when the subject receives the action instead of does it; rewrite the sentence in the active voice if possible
• No parallelism: With parallelism , if there’s a series of phrases or clauses in a sentence, they should all follow the same grammatical structure
• Repetition: Using the same word multiple times throughout the entire writing

Recognizing these issues while revising takes some practice, so go as slowly as you need to make sure you catch everything. 

5 Proofread

Lastly, make sure your spelling and grammar are correct. Technical issues like these are the easiest to fix—the hard part is noticing them in the first place. When you’re done polishing the wording, give your writing one final review and pay attention to finding only errors. 

If you’re not confident in your spelling, grammar, or punctuation or just want to save time, you can always download Grammarly to check your writing mistakes for you. There’s even a free version that points out any spelling or grammar errors in your writing and suggests solutions for how to correct them. 

Once you’re done proofreading, your paper is officially finished! At least, until your next round of revisions . . . 

How to revise a paragraph: Example

Want to see precisely how to revise writing? Here’s a before-and-after example of how to revise a paragraph, with a brief explanation of why the changes were made. 

First, let’s start with an example paragraph from a rough draft. The core idea is there, but it’s not quite ready yet.  

Cheerios are a much better cereal than Frosted Flakes. It doesn’t matter if you’re talking about honey-nut, multigrain, or the original flavor, Cheerios always taste delicious and are really good for your health, too. I eat Cheerios every morning. Cheerios contain your basic vitamins and minerals for the day, making them a healthy choice. Cheerios contain fiber that lowers cholesterol, too. Moreover, Cheerios can also be used for other delicious recipes like parfait or muffins. When you start you’re day with Cheerios, you never regret what you ate for breakfast! They’re also gluten-free. 

Now, here’s the paragraph after revising, with the changes in red. Below we explain the purpose of each change so you know what to look for when you revise your own work. 

Cheerios are a much better cereal than Frosted Flakes. (1) Cheerios are the best cereal on the market. It doesn’t matter if you’re talking about (2) Whether it’s honey-nut, multigrain, or the (3) original flavor, Cheerios always taste delicious and are really (4) good for your health, too. I eat Cheerios every morning. (5) Cheerios contain your basic vitamins and minerals for the day, making them a healthy choice. Cheerios contain fiber that lowers cholesterol, too. (6) If you want fiber that lowers your cholesterol, Cheerios have that as well. Moreover, Cheerios can be used (7) you can use Cheerios for other delicious (8) recipes like parfait or muffins. (9) They’re also gluten-free. When you start you’re (10) your day with Cheerios, you never regret what you ate for breakfast! They’re also gluten-free.  

1 The original topic sentence did not accurately reflect what the paragraph was about. It suggested that the paragraph would be a comparison between Cheerios and Frosted Flakes but only discussed the benefits of Cheerios without mentioning Frosted Flakes at all. 

2 The original phrasing was too long and easily replaced with something shorter. 

3 For parallelism, “the” is deleted so “original flavor” matches the same construction as the other items in the series.

4 Words like “really” or “very” are often unnecessary. 

5 This entire sentence is unnecessary. 

6 The original sentence copied the same structure as the one before it, so we changed the structure. 

7 We revised this sentence to remove the passive voice. 

8 The word “delicious” appeared a few sentences before this. 

9 This sentence seemed out of order, so we moved it earlier. 

10 The usage of “you’re” was grammatically incorrect. 

Revision FAQs  

What is revising.

Revising is the stage of the writing process after the rough draft when you make the final improvements for structure, word choice, and grammar. 

Why is revising important?

It’s practically impossible to write a perfect first draft because it’s hard to focus on every aspect of writing at once. Revising allows you to catch whatever fell through the cracks the first time, plus reading a rough draft can reveal some mistakes you hadn’t anticipated. 

How do you revise your writing?

Revising is a mixture of fixing general problems (like topic and structure) and specific problems (like word choice and grammar). 

Revising Drafts

Rewriting is the essence of writing well—where the game is won or lost. —William Zinsser

What this handout is about

This handout will motivate you to revise your drafts and give you strategies to revise effectively.

What does it mean to revise?

Revision literally means to “see again,” to look at something from a fresh, critical perspective. It is an ongoing process of rethinking the paper: reconsidering your arguments, reviewing your evidence, refining your purpose, reorganizing your presentation, reviving stale prose.

But I thought revision was just fixing the commas and spelling

Nope. That’s called proofreading. It’s an important step before turning your paper in, but if your ideas are predictable, your thesis is weak, and your organization is a mess, then proofreading will just be putting a band-aid on a bullet wound. When you finish revising, that’s the time to proofread. For more information on the subject, see our handout on proofreading .

How about if I just reword things: look for better words, avoid repetition, etc.? Is that revision?

Well, that’s a part of revision called editing. It’s another important final step in polishing your work. But if you haven’t thought through your ideas, then rephrasing them won’t make any difference.

Why is revision important?

Writing is a process of discovery, and you don’t always produce your best stuff when you first get started. So revision is a chance for you to look critically at what you have written to see:

• if it’s really worth saying,
• if it says what you wanted to say, and
• if a reader will understand what you’re saying.

The process

What steps should i use when i begin to revise.

Here are several things to do. But don’t try them all at one time. Instead, focus on two or three main areas during each revision session:

• Wait awhile after you’ve finished a draft before looking at it again. The Roman poet Horace thought one should wait nine years, but that’s a bit much. A day—a few hours even—will work. When you do return to the draft, be honest with yourself, and don’t be lazy. Ask yourself what you really think about the paper.
• As The Scott, Foresman Handbook for Writers puts it, “THINK BIG, don’t tinker” (61). At this stage, you should be concerned with the large issues in the paper, not the commas.
• Check the focus of the paper: Is it appropriate to the assignment? Is the topic too big or too narrow? Do you stay on track through the entire paper?
• Think honestly about your thesis: Do you still agree with it? Should it be modified in light of something you discovered as you wrote the paper? Does it make a sophisticated, provocative point, or does it just say what anyone could say if given the same topic? Does your thesis generalize instead of taking a specific position? Should it be changed altogether? For more information visit our handout on thesis statements .
• Think about your purpose in writing: Does your introduction state clearly what you intend to do? Will your aims be clear to your readers?

What are some other steps I should consider in later stages of the revision process?

• Examine the balance within your paper: Are some parts out of proportion with others? Do you spend too much time on one trivial point and neglect a more important point? Do you give lots of detail early on and then let your points get thinner by the end?
• Check that you have kept your promises to your readers: Does your paper follow through on what the thesis promises? Do you support all the claims in your thesis? Are the tone and formality of the language appropriate for your audience?
• Check the organization: Does your paper follow a pattern that makes sense? Do the transitions move your readers smoothly from one point to the next? Do the topic sentences of each paragraph appropriately introduce what that paragraph is about? Would your paper work better if you moved some things around? For more information visit our handout on reorganizing drafts.
• Check your information: Are all your facts accurate? Are any of your statements misleading? Have you provided enough detail to satisfy readers’ curiosity? Have you cited all your information appropriately?
• Check your conclusion: Does the last paragraph tie the paper together smoothly and end on a stimulating note, or does the paper just die a slow, redundant, lame, or abrupt death?

Whoa! I thought I could just revise in a few minutes

Sorry. You may want to start working on your next paper early so that you have plenty of time for revising. That way you can give yourself some time to come back to look at what you’ve written with a fresh pair of eyes. It’s amazing how something that sounded brilliant the moment you wrote it can prove to be less-than-brilliant when you give it a chance to incubate.

But I don’t want to rewrite my whole paper!

Revision doesn’t necessarily mean rewriting the whole paper. Sometimes it means revising the thesis to match what you’ve discovered while writing. Sometimes it means coming up with stronger arguments to defend your position, or coming up with more vivid examples to illustrate your points. Sometimes it means shifting the order of your paper to help the reader follow your argument, or to change the emphasis of your points. Sometimes it means adding or deleting material for balance or emphasis. And then, sadly, sometimes revision does mean trashing your first draft and starting from scratch. Better that than having the teacher trash your final paper.

But I work so hard on what I write that I can’t afford to throw any of it away

If you want to be a polished writer, then you will eventually find out that you can’t afford NOT to throw stuff away. As writers, we often produce lots of material that needs to be tossed. The idea or metaphor or paragraph that I think is most wonderful and brilliant is often the very thing that confuses my reader or ruins the tone of my piece or interrupts the flow of my argument.Writers must be willing to sacrifice their favorite bits of writing for the good of the piece as a whole. In order to trim things down, though, you first have to have plenty of material on the page. One trick is not to hinder yourself while you are composing the first draft because the more you produce, the more you will have to work with when cutting time comes.

But sometimes I revise as I go

That’s OK. Since writing is a circular process, you don’t do everything in some specific order. Sometimes you write something and then tinker with it before moving on. But be warned: there are two potential problems with revising as you go. One is that if you revise only as you go along, you never get to think of the big picture. The key is still to give yourself enough time to look at the essay as a whole once you’ve finished. Another danger to revising as you go is that you may short-circuit your creativity. If you spend too much time tinkering with what is on the page, you may lose some of what hasn’t yet made it to the page. Here’s a tip: Don’t proofread as you go. You may waste time correcting the commas in a sentence that may end up being cut anyway.

How do I go about the process of revising? Any tips?

• Work from a printed copy; it’s easier on the eyes. Also, problems that seem invisible on the screen somehow tend to show up better on paper.
• Another tip is to read the paper out loud. That’s one way to see how well things flow.
• Remember all those questions listed above? Don’t try to tackle all of them in one draft. Pick a few “agendas” for each draft so that you won’t go mad trying to see, all at once, if you’ve done everything.
• Ask lots of questions and don’t flinch from answering them truthfully. For example, ask if there are opposing viewpoints that you haven’t considered yet.

Whenever I revise, I just make things worse. I do my best work without revising

That’s a common misconception that sometimes arises from fear, sometimes from laziness. The truth is, though, that except for those rare moments of inspiration or genius when the perfect ideas expressed in the perfect words in the perfect order flow gracefully and effortlessly from the mind, all experienced writers revise their work. I wrote six drafts of this handout. Hemingway rewrote the last page of A Farewell to Arms thirty-nine times. If you’re still not convinced, re-read some of your old papers. How do they sound now? What would you revise if you had a chance?

What can get in the way of good revision strategies?

Don’t fall in love with what you have written. If you do, you will be hesitant to change it even if you know it’s not great. Start out with a working thesis, and don’t act like you’re married to it. Instead, act like you’re dating it, seeing if you’re compatible, finding out what it’s like from day to day. If a better thesis comes along, let go of the old one. Also, don’t think of revision as just rewording. It is a chance to look at the entire paper, not just isolated words and sentences.

What happens if I find that I no longer agree with my own point?

If you take revision seriously, sometimes the process will lead you to questions you cannot answer, objections or exceptions to your thesis, cases that don’t fit, loose ends or contradictions that just won’t go away. If this happens (and it will if you think long enough), then you have several choices. You could choose to ignore the loose ends and hope your reader doesn’t notice them, but that’s risky. You could change your thesis completely to fit your new understanding of the issue, or you could adjust your thesis slightly to accommodate the new ideas. Or you could simply acknowledge the contradictions and show why your main point still holds up in spite of them. Most readers know there are no easy answers, so they may be annoyed if you give them a thesis and try to claim that it is always true with no exceptions no matter what.

How do I get really good at revising?

The same way you get really good at golf, piano, or a video game—do it often. Take revision seriously, be disciplined, and set high standards for yourself. Here are three more tips:

• The more you produce, the more you can cut.
• The more you can imagine yourself as a reader looking at this for the first time, the easier it will be to spot potential problems.
• The more you demand of yourself in terms of clarity and elegance, the more clear and elegant your writing will be.

How do I revise at the sentence level?

Read your paper out loud, sentence by sentence, and follow Peter Elbow’s advice: “Look for places where you stumble or get lost in the middle of a sentence. These are obvious awkwardness’s that need fixing. Look for places where you get distracted or even bored—where you cannot concentrate. These are places where you probably lost focus or concentration in your writing. Cut through the extra words or vagueness or digression; get back to the energy. Listen even for the tiniest jerk or stumble in your reading, the tiniest lessening of your energy or focus or concentration as you say the words . . . A sentence should be alive” (Writing with Power 135).

Practical advice for ensuring that your sentences are alive:

• Use forceful verbs—replace long verb phrases with a more specific verb. For example, replace “She argues for the importance of the idea” with “She defends the idea.”
• Look for places where you’ve used the same word or phrase twice or more in consecutive sentences and look for alternative ways to say the same thing OR for ways to combine the two sentences.
• Cut as many prepositional phrases as you can without losing your meaning. For instance, the following sentence, “There are several examples of the issue of integrity in Huck Finn,” would be much better this way, “Huck Finn repeatedly addresses the issue of integrity.”
• Check your sentence variety. If more than two sentences in a row start the same way (with a subject followed by a verb, for example), then try using a different sentence pattern.
• Aim for precision in word choice. Don’t settle for the best word you can think of at the moment—use a thesaurus (along with a dictionary) to search for the word that says exactly what you want to say.
• Look for sentences that start with “It is” or “There are” and see if you can revise them to be more active and engaging.
• For more information, please visit our handouts on word choice and style .

How can technology help?

Need some help revising? Take advantage of the revision and versioning features available in modern word processors.

Track your changes. Most word processors and writing tools include a feature that allows you to keep your changes visible until you’re ready to accept them. Using “Track Changes” mode in Word or “Suggesting” mode in Google Docs, for example, allows you to make changes without committing to them.

Compare drafts. Tools that allow you to compare multiple drafts give you the chance to visually track changes over time. Try “File History” or “Compare Documents” modes in Google Doc, Word, and Scrivener to retrieve old drafts, identify changes you’ve made over time, or help you keep a bigger picture in mind as you revise.

How to Revise an Essay?

• Uncategorized

One of the most crucial steps in the writing process is revising and editing. It is a time-consuming process and can take as long as it took to write the first draft. Therefore, it is important that you set aside enough time to revise your writing thoroughly.

So how to revise an essay? Well, one of the most effective ways is to move your analysis from general to specific:

• Start by looking at the essay as a whole. Is your essay able to achieve its set purpose, and does the arguments and data presented in the essay follow a logical order?
• Now, take a look at each paragraph separately and analyse if the sentences in the paragraph contribute to the paragraph’s central idea. Try to analyse if the sentences can make seamless transitions and can communicate all the key points.
• Finally, check out for any grammatical or punctuation mistakes. Then, Polish out the essay so that its meaning is crystal clear.

The overview of the essay as a whole It is the first step of learning how to revise an essay . Try to focus on the paragraphs that are required to be reworked. If a paragraph is needed to be removed, there is no sense in wasting time to perfect it.

It is why we need to work our way from the general to the specific when learning how to revise an essay . In this step, we will need to analyse your essay’s overall purpose and organisation and worry about the smaller imperfections in the next step.

Purpose : Go through the assignment requirements thoroughly and make sure that you have missed any key points while writing the essay and have addressed each point as instructed. In simple words, check if the essay is fulfilling every requirement of the assignment.

Now you can move on to the thesis statement. Does each of the paragraphs in the essay work towards supporting the thesis statement and advances the arguments? If you find any irrelevant sections, remove them or rework them to align with the thesis statement.

Organisation : The next step of how to revise an essay is to check on the logical progression of the essay. Consider how the paragraphs and sections are ordered in the essay and what information will they contain. You will need to answer the following questions first:

• Are the theories, concepts and terms defined before they are introduced?
• Is all the necessary background information provided before proceeding with the details?
• Do the arguments follow a logical progression?
• Does each paragraph logically transition to the next one?

You will need to make sure that each paragraph has a topic sentence that sums it up. Then, move these topic sentences to a fresh file and figure out their logical progression.

It gives a better overview of the structure of the essay, which will help to organise the paper efficiently. Try out different ordering for the topic sentences and choose the one that best suits your writing.

In case some of the topic sentences look similar, consider if it is redundant and needs removal. Transition sentences can be used to strengthen the structure of your essay and establish a clear connection between the paragraphs.

Finally, follow your intuition. If you feel that a sentence or paragraph is out of place, it probably is. Try to rework it or opt for a second opinion. In both cases, you will need to work out the organisational and structural issues before moving into the more specific ones.

Analysis of each paragraph Now that you are done with the first step of how to revise an essay , you will need to analyse each paragraph separately. You will need to ensure that the content of each paragraph is strong and supporting the thesis statement. You will need to ensure that each sentence:

• Supports the topic sentence of each paragraph
• It is not redundant. Remove it if it has been stated elsewhere in the essay.
• It is not inconsistent with the argument it poses. Do they contradict each other? If the answer is yes, work towards resolving the contradiction or disagreement.

Polish the language It is the final step of how to revise an essay . The objective of this step is to focus and polish the article on a sentence by sentence basis. It is important to ensure that the essay can clearly and fluently convey the idea to the reader.

• Work towards simplifying unnecessarily complex sentences to enhance clarity and making the text easier for the reader to understand what you want to convey.
• Avoid using complex sentences and instead, use direct sentences which are straightforward and to the point.
• Avoid using long sentences and split them up into shorter ones to enhance readability.
• Also, too many short sentences might make the text abrupt and choppy therefore use semicolons and conjunctions to string them together.
• When learning how to revise an essay, it is important to use transition words to highlight the connection between different points.
• Remove any unnecessary words and phrases.
• Use simple words wherever possible.
• Keep an eye out for grammatical and spelling mistakes.

• To improve and further develop ideas

Revision VS. Editing

Revising a piece of your own writing is more than just fixing errors—that's editing . Revision happens before editing.

Revising involves re-seeing your essay from the eyes of a reader who can't read your mind, not resting satisfied until you're sure you have been as clear and as thorough as possible.

Revising also requires you to think on a large scale, to extrapolate: If a reader remarked that you didn't have enough evidence in paragraph three, you should also take a close look at paragraphs two and four to be sure that you provide substantial evidence for those claims as well.

Some Strategies for Revising:

• Ask yourself, "What's my best _____ and my weakest _____?" (sentence, example, paragraph, transition, data, source, etc.) Be honest, and fix that weak spot!

Create a Reverse Outline of your draft. This is making an outline after your paper has been written, and it will help you to see your draft’s structure and logical flow. To do this: First, circle your thesis statement; Then, reading each paragraph one at a time, write down the main point of each paragraph in the margin next to the paragraph. Once you have created your reverse outline, you can look to see if the organization is flowing how you want/need it to? Are your ideas moving logically? If not, rearrange your paragraphs accordingly. Furthermore, now you can see if every paragraph is relating back to your thesis some way. If not, add the necessary information or connections to make sure each paragraph is supporting your argument. If there is a paragraph that doesn’t seem to fit within your paper, you may need to develop that paragraph or possibly delete it. Do you see any gaps in logic, perhaps you need to add information (and to do so, you may need to gather said information, perhaps through further research). See the Writing Center handout on Reverse Outlining for further guidance.

Highlighter Approach. Using a highlighter (or highlighters) on your draft can help you to better visualize where certain information is located in your draft and how that information is working as a whole throughout your writing. To do this, use different colored highlighters to isolate different content elements of your paper. For instance, you could highlight all the evidence in your paper, or for a comparison paper, choose one color to highlight one subject and a different color for a different subject to help you see if you are spending more time on one element over the other. Or, for a paper with multiple sub-points, you might choose different colors to highlight each sub-point to see how they are working together in the draft.

Cut & Rearrange. Using scissors, cut your paper into individual paragraphs. Each paragraph becomes its own piece of paper. This method allows you to visualize and physically rearrange your draft. You can rearrange the paragraphs to see the best option for organization, development of ideas and argument, where your counterargument best fits, and the flow of your writing.

Develop a Checklist based on your assignment prompt or the guidelines for your specific piece of writing.

Paragraph-Level Revisions. To make sure each paragraph is well organized and effective, look at each paragraph individually, examining the following elements: Topic Sentence, Focus, Logic & Progression, Transitions, and Length. Be sure the paragraph has a topic sentence that informs the reader what the paragraph is about/ where the paragraph will go. Make sure the paragraph is staying on “topic” and not meandering into a new topic (and not missing the topic completely). Are your sentences and ideas progressing logically? Make sure you are using appropriate transition words and phrases between sentences, and not just writing statement, statement, statement. If a paragraph is too long or trying to do too much or making too many points, consider splitting it into two to be most accessible for your reader.

Finally, Get a reader’s response! Have someone else read your writing and give you feedback. Can they easily follow your logic? Where are they confused? Where do you need to make connections for the reader?

How to Revise an Essay

Set your draft aside

Build a retrogressive outline of your exposition

Recognize the primary ideas in each section. Rank their significance in propelling your proposition. Consider associations between and among thoughts.

Re-evaluate your proposal

In light of what you did in the past advance, rebuild your contention: reorder your points and cut redundancies. You might need to get back to the content for extra proof.

Since you understand what you’re truly contending, work on the presentation and end. Try to start your sections with topic sentences, connecting ideas in each passage to those proposed in the proposition.

Focus on exactness and economy in language. Be keen when perusing so you can detect grammar errors.

How Long Does it Take to Revise an Essay?

The time it takes to revise an essay depends on the nature of the task and the time you spent writing it in the first place. It is advisable to leave one day for revision, so you’ve adequate time to rest after crafting your paper.

Standards to Keep in Mind while Revising an Essay

Here are the principles to keep in mind while revising your essay.

Revision involves re-evaluating your thesis

Since clearness of vision is the after-effect of involvement, it is irrational to hope to concoct the ideal theory—one that obviously represents the intricacies of the current issue—prior to starting a draft, or in any event, during a first draft. Good theses; they are the results of the sort of exact reasoning that is simply conceivable to accomplish by composing. The effective modification includes bringing your proposition into centre—or transforming it significantly.

Revision involves rolling out primary improvements

Drafting is normally a cycle of finding a thought or contention. Your contention won’t become clear in the event that you just a handyman with singular sentences. Fruitful revision includes carrying the most grounded thoughts to the front of the article, reordering the central matters, cutting superfluous areas, adding suggestions. It likewise includes making the contention’s design noticeable by reinforcing point sentences and changes.

Revision requires time

Despite the fact that revision requires significant investment and energy, it likewise causes you to turn into a more proficient essayist as it were.

Types of Revision

As you read, you find that you’ve failed to make a point that is fundamental for the accomplishment of your contention. You reconsider what you’ve composed, making that point understood.

Here are the various kinds of revision.

Enormous Scale Revision

This sort of update includes taking a look at the whole paper for places where your intuition appears to go astray. You may have to give proof, characterize terms, or add an altogether new advance to your thinking. You may even choose to rebuild or revamp your paper totally if you find a groundbreaking thought that interests you or a design that is by all accounts more viable than the one you’ve been utilizing.

Limited scope Revision

The small-scale correction needs to happen when you realize that a certain piece of your paper isn’t working. Possibly the introductory part needs work. Possibly one piece of the contention appears to be weak. Whenever you’ve found the issue, you’ll centre on modifying that one segment of your paper. At the point when you are done, you will need to re-examine your paper, all in all, to ensure that your updates work in the setting of the whole paper.

Editing is the way toward discovering minor issues with a book – issues that may effortlessly be fixed by erasing a word or sentence, reordering a section, etc. When you alter, you are thinking about your reader. You may be content with how you’ve composed your paper; however, will your reader discover your paper clear, lucid, fascinating? Make sure your essay is concise enough for your audience.

Proofreading

Proofreading refers to searching for botches in your paper. Regular missteps discovered during proofreading include accentuation mistakes, spelling blunders, subject-verb agreement, etc. As you proofread, you need to do it slowly, permitting your eye to zero in on each word, each expression of your paper.

These projects can modify the significance of your words since they don’t identify with the setting in their calculations. So you need to guarantee you have a unique duplicate of your composition prior to rolling out any improvements.

In the event that you decide to modify a printed version of your exposition, you need to utilize a pen and a highlighter. This will empower you to compose remarks you can later allude to.

Here are a few stages on how to revise your essay.

Give Yourself Time

The time you take to re-examine a paper relies upon the idea of the assignment and the time you spent composing. As a rule, you should leave one day for modification so that you may have an opportunity to rest subsequent to completing your task. This gives you the energy expected to zero in on your assignment.

Recite it Out Loud

This is a pivotal step since when you are drained; your mind pulls pranks on you. You will some of the time miss a few grammatical mistakes that can change the importance of your sentences. Additionally, by reciting, you will identify obvious mistakes.

Zero in on the Idea

Bear in mind that revision isn’t just about punctuation mix-ups and grammatical mistakes. You ought to likewise consider the general turn of events and progress of your task.

Check the Format

Have you composed sufficient words? Is your composing excessively short or excessively long? Did you observe the right standards for a reference? These are significant inquiries to pose prior to presenting your assignment.

Points to Consider When Revising Your College Essay

The accompanying rules can assist you with editing your composition flawlessly:

Check the Organization

To start with, check the layout of your scholarly assignment. To compose a school paper of wonderful quality, you need to ensure you have an unmistakable introduction, body, and end. The introduction ought to give sufficient data about the fundamental thought and topic.

Check the Content

The manner in which you compose ought to be pertinent to the theme. The length of the task ought to be proper and satisfactory. You should ensure sentences are not difficult to peruse and show your insight into the theme you are expounding on.

Satisfactory Sources

Ensure you utilize dependable and important sources. You should glance through it to guarantee they are precise and contain helpful information that improves the nature of your undertaking.

Probably the best tip is to check for syntax and spelling botches. Your task ought to be free from mistakes since some can alter the purpose of your content. You likewise need to ensure you have capitalized the title and captions effectively.

Check for Plagiarism

Literary theft is unbearable in scholastic tasks. This is the reason you need to ensure you cite your sources appropriately by checking plagiarism before you submit your essay.

Tips on How to Revise Your Essay

Here are the tips on how to revise your essay.

• Scan through your exposition, highlight, and bold the first lines of each paragraph
• Peruse the bolded lines resoundingly so that others may detect any errors. As you read, you’ll most likely realize that a few sections bode well and others don’t.
• Compose another layout wherein all the lines stream together. Like a little form of your exposition. Basically, what you’ll be composing is the skeleton of the article. Think about the lines that continue in each section, the gist that fleshes out the article. Sort of a gross picture, however, whatever. The new blueprint that you make doesn’t need to definitely mirror what’s presently in your exposition – it tends to be optimistic, as such, what you need the sections to say. Whenever you’ve composed this new framework, glue the bolded lines onto a shiny new clear report.
• Revise your sections so that each passage fleshes out the point sentence. This may not seem like a sentimental/innovative method of composing an exposition; however, it works. It’ll additionally assist you with explaining what you’re attempting to say.

Also, for what reason do I propose you glue the new diagram onto another report and begin once again? So, it’ll take longer in the event that you don’t. Odds are you’ll have experienced passionate feelings for some old way that you’ve started something at the same time, whenever you’ve composed the new outline, that old method of expressing it is extinct.

• Step away from the exposition for at least half an hour. Take a walk, grab a bite, and accomplish another thing to clear your brain. Return to it and read it so anyone might hear.
• Print a printed copy of your paper. Studies have discovered that numerous individuals miss issues in their papers when they are perusing from the PC screen. Since you can’t see the entire paper on the screen, it is once in a while difficult to analyze enormous primary issues. Having a printed copy of your paper won’t just assist you with seeing these issues, yet it will give you space in the edges where you may compose notes to yourself as you read.
• Read your paper for all to hear. Here and there, you can hear botches that you don’t see. Reading loudly will help you realize when something doesn’t bode well, when sentences are so long, when accentuation has gone amiss, etc.
• Get a subsequent reader. It’s frequently hard to sort out what’s turned out badly in your own paper. This is the reason getting a subsequent reader is the most intelligent thing you can do as an essayist. A subsequent reader can do a ton for you: she can disclose to you where they got confounded or outraged, and they can offer you guidance for improving your work. Keep in mind, however: when you request that somebody read your work, you ought to be arranged for any analysis they may make. Try not to be protective; all things being equal, attempt to figure out why your reader feels as she does about your paper. Obviously, you don’t have to follow each proposal that your reader makes; however, you will absolutely benefit from their remarks and questions, regardless of whether you do choose to overlook their recommendation eventually.
• Be a subsequent reader. There could be no more excellent approach to figure out how to change your paper than to help another person amend his. You’ll see that your basic eye works much better at the point when it’s centred on your companion’s paper than it does when it’s centred on your own. You can be more targets when seeing another person’s work. You can see more effectively what’s turned out badly in a paper and how to fix it. When you practice these abilities on another person’s report, you become more adept at rehearsing them all alone.

How To Revise A Paper: Recommendations From Experts

Paper revision is not the first step when writing any piece of academic work, but we must say it is one of the most important. Many are times when students skip revising their papers, but this can easily water down the quality of an otherwise properly-writer paper. Revising a paper requires you to look at it from a different perspective, but this is never easy, especially after a lengthy process of researching and writing the academic piece. Indeed, even the most talented writers understand the crucial role of revising academic papers once done. So, how exactly do you revise a paper? Keep reading for the best expert tips on how to revise an essay like an expert for top grades.

Although the term revision is often confused with proofreading, the two are very different. The word revision means to see again, implying that it is way more than proofreading. When you set off to revise paper, it implies that you are going back and looking at the ideas presented therein to ensure that they articulately fit the objective of the academic piece.

According to academic experts in many universities and colleges, an academic paper is supposed to go via multiple drafts or stages before submission for marking. This is why they use most of their time reorganizing, rewriting, and rewording drafts before submitting for marking. However, not everyone wants and needs to go that deep into working on a paper. Using custom term paper writing service will be an excellent idea for such students. The methods of revising an essay might differ slightly depending on the writer. For a linear type of writer, the process of preparing a paper follows a clearly defined process, such as brainstorming, preparing an outline, preparing a draft, and revising it. However, recursive writers do not follow a clearly defined approach. For example, they might start with the draft and then work on the structure of the paper. In such a case, revising the paper may take place throughout the writing process.

Revising a term paper takes the steps we are going to outline shortly, and it involves looking at the written work from various angles. During revisions, you make major changes to improve the essay’s focus, development, and flow. In every step, you must stay focused on the targeted audience.

• Step One: Give Yourself Ample Time When students set off exploring how to revise and edit an essay, one of the main questions at the back of their minds is, “how long does it take?” We must indicate that there are no distinct timelines, and it all depends on the piece of work and the respective student’s abilities. The best idea is to ensure you have ample time, preferably a day, after completing an assignment. After completing the paper or essay, resting can help you remember new details and put extra focus on the paper. If you do not have a lot of time to spare before revising the paper, it is advisable to do something completely different before embarking on the revision process. Consider taking a walk, visiting the gym, watching a movie, or anything to take away and refresh your mind for some time.
• Step Two: Read the Paper Loud If you are tired after, especially after the long process of preparing the essay, the brain can easily miss on fine details of the idea being put through. For example, you are likely to miss some typos, and such mistakes might compromise the quality of the paper. Reading the paper loud makes it easy to catch most mistakes and correct them properly.
• Step Three: Focus on the Ideas Presented in the Paper Some of the most emphasized components in many revision tips for writing revision papers are typos and grammar mistakes. However, these are not the only items you should focus on. In addition, you should think of the overall idea or ideas presented on the paper. As you ensure the sentences are perfectly done, the ultimate idea should also be as clear as possible. If the paper is talking about global warming, you might want to check closely to ensure that it starts with a definition, a brief history, causes, threats, and possible solutions.

Does the paper have enough words? Did your lecturer ask students to talk in first or second person? What formatting style is required for the paper? Is the essay too long or too short?

One mistake that college and university students make is trying to get over the research paper or essay as fast as possible. Even if you have a tight deadline to write the research paper, it will be an excellent idea to use an essay reviser to do the job. In addition to the process of revising a paper that we highlighted above, here are some important things you need to focus on:

• Content of the Paper : When you write or review a paper, the entire work should be linked with the title. The introduction, the thesis, body, and conclusion should allow the reader to easily link the work with the main topic.
• Sources Used : A good paper must be comprehensively researched to cover all the main points. Therefore, you need to check back to ensure that enough and relevant resources have been deployed.
• Check Plagiarism : When revising or editing a paper, every student must confirm it is free from plagiarism. Almost every school, college, or university has its own rules on plagiarism, and you should pass the paper through a good similarity checker to identify areas of similarity. Then, rewrite the sections that returned some similarity until the paper is 0% plagiarism.

If you ask expert writers how they did it, most of them will say that the focus needed to revise essays is almost equal to that of preparing the paper. The following tips will come in handy to help you to further polish your work.

• Consider asking another person to read through your paper . In most cases, students ask their colleagues, but a coworker, friend, or even boss might be able to help. If they make suggestions, to factor them in the paper, improving it every step of the way.
• Think of your essay as a type of presentation . Just like a presenter polishes a paper to be presented to investors, the same approach can help you note errors in your work.
• Check other top-rated work : This can assist you to note how other expert academic writers presented their work. How did they craft captivating introductions? What is the flow of ideas? How does the conclusion relate to the introduction and thesis statement of the paper?
• Proofread the work more times : Even after revising the paper, do not fail to revisit it again and again. Additional proofreading might be the golden moment to identify disharmony between sentences and correct them for top grades.
• Think link a reader : When you finally submit the paper, it will be marked and graded by your class teachers. Therefore, you need to look at the paper from the lecturer’s perspective. If you were to mark the paper, how would you rate it? Be as honest as possible to identify issues that require to be addressed.
