Writing: How to make them understand you!

Writing is a process. Professional writers have professional editors. This feedback process will help you improve how you start writing, complete a draft, and hone your final version.

Initial Checklist before we even get started:

  • Is your paper about one topic or event? (If not, is it an argument with a structure?)
  • Does your paper have an introduction?
  • Does your paper have a conclusion?
  • Do you have a variety of sentence structures?
  • What tense did you write your paper in?

If you already have writing credits with edMe, great! If not, scroll down to buy a $9.99 pass. Then, you can choose where you want to begin in the writing process. Then, you can choose where you want to begin in the writing process.

Overview of this page and how edMe supports your writing process.

We use a 7-step writing process and highlight the 3 steps that are most useful for you to receive feedback.

Outlines, thought bubbles, Pros-and-Cons lists are all great ways to start thinking about writing. Click here to get help organizing your ideas.

Look for connections, missing details, and other additions you can make. If you organized your idea in groups, put them in order so that you can use your organizer to write paragraphs in the correct order. Now, you know what needs to be in your introduction and conclusion and the details in between.
It takes time! It takes focus! You can do it piece by piece. Write a paragraph or a page at a time. Be sure your ideas are building in a good order. Think about how readers will understand what you say.
The first draft is a good overview of how writing is going. This is an exciting point. Half way done! Upload your first draft here.
Drafts should be reviewed to see how the ideas are ordered and connected (transition sentences!).
Make sure each of your sentence flows well. Check your verbs and your punctuation. Make sure your sentences have different structures (but no run-ons!).
Read through your paper one last night to ensure your word choice will meet the expectation of your teacher or audience. Also, be sure to use the correct formatting for your assignment.
Upload your final draft here.
