WRIT 3720, Substantive Editing. CD Dunja Baus.

Abstract

"The power of revision" is an excellent piece of writing, superbly structured and organized, so that the text flows effortlessly from beginning to end.  While the tone is light, it transmits a serious message, a combination that is quite compelling for the reader.  Beautifully written, the paper uses the personal experience of the writer to bring the paper’s message to life and to connect that message intimately with the reader.  The essay is certainly most worthy of receiving the runner-up prize for 3^rd year Professional Writing paper.
