Feb 14    Editing, Revising, and Polishing Business Writing
Once you have drafted and composed your written communication, you have another stage to apply to the message. Editing is deciding what changes to make, revising is making the changes, and polishing is making it sound good. One slipped word or one convoluted sentence can send a miscommunication and create a misunderstanding. Learn to avoid wordiness, misplaced verbs and modifiers, unrepresented pronouns, inappropriate tone, unfortunate informality, and other writing issues. We will practice editing, revising, and polishing.
