What is redraft from large scale to small?Show answer
Redraft in order of scale. There is no point polishing a sentence in a paragraph you will later cut, so fix the big things first: the clarity of purpose, the structure, whether the piece achieves its effect. Then work on style and voice. Leave proofreading for spelling, punctuation and grammar to the very end, when the words are settled.
