Free Printable Editing Pass Checklist (Multi-Pass) — Structural → Proof PDF

Polishing a sentence you’ll cut is the most expensive habit in writing

Writing & Editing Checklist (`/worksheets/writing-checklist`) is school revision (planning → conventions); this is the professional manuscript sequence: structural → line → copy → proof → format.

Order matters more than completeness — line-editing before structural means polishing chapters that get cut.

Print one per pass per draft and date it — you’ll see in retrospect how many drafts a project actually took.
