| Hello. My name is Christine Morton and I'm the Chief Editor of English Writing Online. Editing is a very important part of the writing process and every writer needs an editor, whether he or she is a native speaker or a learner. | ||
| What does an editor do exactly? | ||
| An editor checks that: | ||
| the main reason for writing is clear to the reader | ||
| the text is targeted towards the intended audience | ||
| the text is cohesive and fits together well | ||
| all the information is relevant | ||
| there are no grammar, spelling or punctuation errors | ||
| Being the editor for English Writing Online also means checking the pages to make sure that all the instructions for the units, exercises and activities are easy to understand and that all the buttons do what they are supposed to do. There are hundreds and hundreds of interactive pages in the website, and the team is always adding more, so you can imagine what a big job I have. | ||
| The units in English Writing Online are written to professional standards and are really a lot of fun. They teach you everything you need to know about writing from understanding your reason for writing to in-text referencing. There is a wealth of information all available at the click of a mouse. Of course, the website includes a complete grammar reference, practice exercises, pronunciation units and a whole lot of other student-centered learning activities. |
| If you want to learn how English, I would definitely recommend signing-up. Of course, all the pages have also been professionally edited by yours truly, which makes them even better! |
