That’s a great article! Just at the moment, I’m doing a lot of bid editing (responses to competitive tenders). It uses exactly the same skill-set, in the same order. The bid response needs to tell a compelling story. It needs to be concise and the writing needs to flow. And anything like a spelling mistake or typo needs to be weeded out. I do it in the same order as suggested above – nice and logical. The only difference is that I have to work to stringent word counts (you don’t get the 10% either way that they allow at Uni – you can’t be over by even one word). However, there’s something soothing about ensuring that each word has a part to play and is necessary to the whole.
