An important part of the writing process is the reviewing and editing stage. This is where you tidy up your work and add value by polishing the parts that sound clunky and/or unclear.

Now you are free from the writing process you must now wear a different hat. You are now the editor. First – you will run the document through a mechanical spell-checker which will flush out any misspellings. However, your computer won’t pick up the wrong usage of words such as ‘their’ – ‘there’ or ‘they’re’. All are correctly spelt – but only one has the correct meaning.
