Workflow

Explore the title

• Try to understand what expectation the title sets about the piece

Try to understand the structure

• It's inevitable that you have to intuit the Author's intention

Fortify the overall structure

• it should be clear what the premise and thesis is

Tighten the paragraphs and suggest the deletion of elements

• remember to leave comments

• strengthen the Author's arguments

Review the micro theses and ensure they match with the macro flow

• each paragraph is a contained micro unit within the larger piece

• understand whether the content of the units fits with the thesis

• go through each paragraph and restart from the beginning

• Go back to the macro thesis and ensure it's still consistent with the conclusion

• set aside for 24h, send back to author and review from the start

Make meaningful comments and ask questions

• make sure all your questions are seen by the author and leave comments

Second pass and handover

• Repeat the review of the micro theses

• send back to Author
