Abstract
When writing a paper for publication, professional presentation may make the difference between acceptance and rejection. Submitting an essay for a college grade that is free from errors and well organized can change a B paper into an A paper. Effectively proofreading, editing, and revising will assist a writer in turning a “good” paper into an “excellent” one. In addition, it can raise the credibility of the author and maintain his or her professionalism in his or her career. This chapter discusses the revising, editing, and proofreading processes and includes checklists to guide a writer in accomplishing his or her writing goals.
