Self-Evaluation
When time and money are short, self-evaluation of your writing skills is a positive first step. Explore the resources on this page and determine the best path forward in your better writing journey.
Evaluation is the making of a judgment about the amount, quality, or value of something. It is an assessment that can be wholly subjective and qualitative or entirely objective and quantitative. Usually the results of an assessment fall somewhere in between. Rarely does the result represent a totally rational judgment. Before you can fix something, you need to know what is wrong with it.
Fix My Writing
Writing is a technical skill that you use to communicate effectively through the written word. Though these may vary depending on what you’re writing, there are several that transcend categories. Writing skills can more specifically include:
Grammar
Vocabulary
Spelling
Sentence construction
Structure
Research and accuracy
Clarity
Persuasiveness
Each of these components can influence the quality of writing.
External Evaluation
When time and money are available, there are eternal resources available as a solid first step to better writing. These external resources are professional services that can provide a detailed snapshot of where your writing has strengths or needs work. The results are as close as one can get to a personal writing coach or tutor.
A.I. Evaluation
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the bleeding edge of assessment technology. While often superficial and lacking specifics, there are numerous sources where you can submit writing samples and get feedback quickly. Many of these services are free or very low cost. If you need results fast, this is a reasonable first step.
