Welcome to your first editing session, this time, Cris, will walk you through the edits she recently made to the work from one of our micro-interns.

The key takeaways from this editing session are:

  • Use bullet points to present information clearly
  • Use H1, H2, and H3s that are actionable and engaging
  • You're not ChatGPT, you have a sense of humor, use it
  • Break up your paragraphs into bite-sized chunks of 2-3 sentences
  • Use italics and bolding to bring the attention of the reader to specific parts
  • Let the reader take a break from all the text—images and gifs are great for that
  • Don't be afraid to show your personality, after all, it is you who's writing the piece
  • Whenever you mention tools don't forget to show a screenshot of what it looks like

Happy editing!
