Copy editing

This new knowledge has made me more confident in my writing and more hopeful for the future. Throughout GSW 1110 I have grown immensely as a writer and have acquired new skills, allowing me to…

Here we go then, don’t take it to heart, it’s meant to help. My six of the best criticisms, over breakfast  1. You advertise your forum as ‘Christian Activism’ and so you’ve just lost a political audience.

It meanders topically, the home page which is your introduction to the site, jumps from one topic to another and it’s difficult to know what the site is about. I…

How Social Media Has Been Hurting Women Instead of Helping Them I went on a trip to Folly Beach in South Carolina with my church youth group CRUSH in the summer of 2016. The sun was shining on my face while I could hear the water clamp up on the sand. I wanted to commemorate this moment with my good friend Rebecca, so I decided that we should take a picture to post on Instagram. After taking the photo, Rebecca smiled at it for a few moments and said, “Aww we look so cute. I love this picture”…

This news reverberated throughout the scientific community and hailed as the next revolution of medicine as it will allow us to eradicate devastating genetic illnesses such as Down syndrome, Anemia and Parkinson’s (Tarantola). As the name indicates, genetically engineering embryos is the manipulation of the human genome, in order to improve the embryo’s DNA,…

All I usually changed were the structural errors instead of the grammar errors. In taking this class thus far I have learned that this type of editing will not have me pass at my preferred grade. The evidence of this lies in all both the narrative and observational essay. From “Jeez Grandma!” to “This is Gaming?” my editing in my correctness criterion had improved but only by a small margin. Evidently showing me from the start that I needed to improve and that I can’t be sloppy with…
