Once you’ve finished your first draft, step away from the essay for a bit. It’s hard to look at your writing objectively when you’ve been staring at it for hours. If you can, sleep on it and come back to it the next day, so that you can look at it with a fresh perspective. As you read, look for any obvious issues with style, flow, and organization. If it helps, read the essay out loud to yourself. Make note of anything that jumps out at you as needing improvement. As you read, keep the following questions in mind:  Is your writing concise? Are there any words or sentences that you could cut out? Is your writing clear? Does everything make sense? Is the essay well-organized? Is there anything that would flow better if it was arranged in a different order? Do you need to make the transitions between sections flow more smoothly? As you read over your essay, consider whether the language you use is appropriate for academic writing. Avoid slang and colloquialisms, clichés, and language that is overly emotional or judgmental. Keep your language and tone formal and objective.  For example, “Roodles’ early work is pretty awful compared to her later stuff!” would not be appropriate in an academic paper. Instead, write something like, “Roodles’ poems published before 1910 show a less nuanced understanding of verse and meter than her later poems.” . Once you’ve read over everything and made note of any important changes that need to be made, go through and revise your essay. When you’re done, read it over a second time. Make sure to save a copy of your previous draft separately, in case you make any major revisions and then change your mind. . Proofreading is the nitty-gritty task of catching and correcting issues like formatting problems, typos, spelling errors, punctuation errors, and grammar mistakes. Read your essay slowly, line by line, and correct any problems that you see. Reading out loud can help you catch problems that your eye might miss when you’re reading silently. When it comes to revising your writing, two sets of eyes are definitely better than one. If you can, have a friend or classmate read over your essay before you finalize it and hand it in. They may catch errors that you missed, or point out passages that need to be clarified or reworded.
