Editing Exercise with a Focus on Sentence Structure
Press Release Including Web Content

This document is an example of a press release for a fundraising dinner to benefit an animal shelter.  In it, I include content for Web-based applications such as social media.

The second, third, and fourth documents that i provide here contain passages that I edited for my Technical Editing class.  For each edit, I have provided evidence from The Chicago Manual of Style, Technical Editing by Carolyn Rude and Angela Eaton, or the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. All of the editing assignments have a specific focus but my edits are not confined to those subjects.  Instead, I comprehensively edit each passage.

This is an editing exercise that focuses on verbs.

This is an editing exercise I did that focuses on spelling, capitalization, italics, names of persons, offices, quotations, and abbreviations.
