Golden Rules of Editing
This paper was written by a fellow student and is used with permission. I was assigned to perform substantive editing. The purpose of this paper was for the author to establish a personal code of ethics that will guide the author throughout their editing career. Because this draft was sparse and still quite drafty, I made comments on areas I thought could be expanded to give the author ideas about where to go next. I included questions to spark the author’s thoughts. I made a suggestion for the introduction because there was not much of a hook. Mostly I focused on making sure all elements of the prompt were covered and that no pieces were missing. The author's title was added later.
