This document provides guidelines for revising writing. It begins by stating that revision creates order from chaos and is meant to clarify and improve upon initial writing. The document distinguishes revision from simple editing or proofreading by noting that revision requires rethinking the overall ideas and organization. Specific revision techniques are then outlined, including grabbing the reader with an engaging introduction and conclusion, using vivid sensory details to immerse the reader, developing characters, employing foreshadowing and symbolism, choosing effective word choice and sentence structure, and considering point of view. The goal of revision is to "re-create" written work and see it in a new light.
