Peer editing can be a difficult task to do. There are certain steps to take in order to provide meaningful feedback that will help the writer edit his/her work.

Lastly, check for corrections. . Corrections are the step where you show your peer where they have made grammatical errors and others writing mistakes. Whichever step you are on it is very important that you always stay positive. No one likes hearing what is wrong with their work, especially if the editor is negative.

Hi Chalandra, this is a really good post. I also mentioned how when giving peer editing one can not be to mean to the writer. It is very difficult to hear that one's work is wrong, but its even harder when the editor is negative.
