Revision literally means to ?see again,? to look at something from a fresh, critical perspective. It is an ongoing process of rethinking the paper: reconsidering your arguments, reviewing your evidence, refining your purpose, reorganizing your presentation, reviving stale prose.

Standard advice is to edit and revise your email based on audience size: For audiences of 1 to 5 recipients, make 2 to 4 revisions; for 5 to 10 recipients, make 8 to 12 revisions; for company-wide messages, make 30 to 50 revisions. The purpose of editing and revising your email is to make it clear and concise.

Here's a checklist to consider when revising: Delete redundancies. ... Use numbers and specifics instead of adverbs and adjectives. ... Add missing context. ... Focus on the strongest argument. ... Delete off-topic material. ... Seek out equivocation and remove it. ... Kill your favorites. ... Delete anything written in the heat of emotion.

For our purposes, rewriting would essentially mean throwing away your draft and starting again, whereas revising would mean making incremental improvements to your draft. For example, you begin to draft a business letter to a supplier because you have a complaint about recent late deliveries.

Revision. Although email is meant to be quick, always take time to revise your writing before you click Send. Review your spelling and grammar, and confirm the accuracy of any facts you present. If you read the email aloud, you may find additional errors or realize that your words are missing a professional tone.
