What Is Post-writing?
A look at process
As the final stage in the writing process, post-writing encompasses three distinct but related tasks: revising, editing, and
proofreading. Overall, however, we are revisiting our draft material in order to improve it; the goal is to ensure that it
effectively addresses the intended audience and purpose.
Post-writing: A Definition
The three post-writing tasks are defined and differentiated in The Canadian Writer's Workplace in the following ways:
Revising - "Revising is rereading your first draft very carefully and making major improvements. You may replace an
entire paragraph with a new one, for example. You might cut the length of a large anecdote in half and add a different
smaller one" (Lipschutz, Scarry, & Scarry, 2017, p. 249).
Editing - "Editing... usually means making smaller, but still important, changes... [it] refers to improving the
organization of the composition and the style of writing" (Lipschutz, Scarry, & Scarry, 2017, p. 249).

Editing - "Editing ... usually means making smaller, but still important, changes... [it] refers to improving the
organization of the composition and the style of writing" (Lipschutz, Scarry, & Scarry, 2017, p. 249).
Proofreading - "After the revising and editing are finished, proofreading begins. Proofreading refers, mostly, to
correcting mistakes at a more "micro" level; for example ... grammar or spelling errors. Minor factual errors in content
may also be caught at this stage" (Lipschutz, Scarry, & Scarry, 2017, p. 249).
Post-writing: The Tools
As part of this project, you are required to submit a record of the changes that you make to your essay.
While there are a number of ways to keep a record of changes to a document, the tool you will use is Word's "Track
Changes." This feature allows you to both track and subsequently review all changes before deciding whether to
integrate or omit them.
As a reminder of the process for using "Track Changes" and submitting both a draft and final
version of your essay, please review this page of the unit: Before You Begin Unit 5 in delay

Before Post-writing, Revisit the Purpose
Review Assignment Requirements and Rubric
Before moving forward with post-writing steps, it's important to have another look at the requirements and become
familiar with the rubric. Both of these documents play a role in defining the essay's purpose.
Before moving on, go back to look at the Assessment Details in the Course Information module.
