Edit first for content, then again for voice. During both edits, be sure to read it out aloud. I recommend recording yourself on otter during each. 2. Does the introduction/hook compel the reader to read the rest of the article? 3. Does the conclusion tell the reader the one takeaway they should get from the article and prime him or her to share it? 4. Can you read just the topic sentences of the body of the article and still understand it? 5. Could any phrases or wording possibly be misinterpreted to make you look bad, rude, arrogant, idiotic, and/or offensive? If there is a remote possibility of this, change it. 6. Do you make any statements without proving them, or are there any gaps in your logic? Fix them. 7. Is everything 100% correct and verifiable? Would you stake your job on it? 8. Is the information you produced something that journalists will find valuable and people will find shareable? 9. Are there no major concerns on Grammarly? 10. What about Hemingway App? 11. Write one section at a time. The first sentence should get people to read the second. And the second sentence should get people to read the third, and so on. 12. Break up your content with multimedia, lists, and single sentences: People get bored reading paragraphs and paragraphs of text. 13. Make it actionable. Don't write fluff. Keep your sentences short, simple and to-the-point. 14. Use simple explanations. Even if someone might have heard what you’ve written before, always try to simplify and make it easier to understand. 15. Treat links like valuable currency. When linking out, make sure you're linking to the original source (not someone who's referenced someone else's post on that topic). Also check to make sure you're not linking to content that is 2+ years old. ### From [[2. Write The Ship | Write The Ship]] ![[Photos/Pasted image 20210323102106.png]]
