How to Edit Other People’s Writing

Provide feedback that improves written products and builds your colleagues’ writing skills

This webinar gives participants practical skills for editing their coworkers’ writing and asking for feedback on their own work. Participants will learn how to use the framework we teach in our writing workshops to provide feedback that improves the document at hand but also helps their colleagues build writing skills over time.

When colleagues learn to collaborate well on their writing, it’s not just their work that improves—it’s their working relationships, too. People stop feeling attacked, critiqued, or bogged down, and instead feel supported and confident. This webinar will help your team work together more smoothly and ultimately produce more impactful written products.

You will learn to

  • Ask for and offer the right kind of edits for every situation

  • Provide feedback that’s specific and helpful, not vague or confusing

  • Depersonalize your feedback and keep it focused on the audience and results

  • Stand in for the audience and provide feedback from their perspective

"Grace’s workshop at our nonprofit office was thoughtful, instructive, and will make an immediate positive impact on our writing. Though my colleagues and I come from different educational backgrounds and have a wide range of writing experiences, each of us took away helpful pieces of advice that will be easy to implement."
