Five one-page self-editing checklists for the five things most people write

A blog post, a business email, an essay, a landing page, a report. Each page carries the readability targets for that format and the checks that catch what spell-check cannot: structure first, then sentences, then words, then facts and links. Print them. Tick them.

The Self-Editing Checklists: cover
01
What is inside

Built for the work, not the feed.

Anyone who edits their own writing and wants a repeatable pass instead of a vague reread.

01

Edit in the right order

Structure, sentences, words, facts and links, final. Fixing words in a paragraph you will cut is wasted time, so the page is ordered to stop you.

02

Targets per format

Grade level, words per sentence, passive-voice limit and paragraph length for each format, so the checklist is measurable, not a mood.

03

A before-you-start line

Each page opens with the one thing to do before editing: say the post's answer out loud; write the thesis on its own line; decide the one thing the email asks.

04

The checks spell-check cannot do

Is the answer in the first screen? Does every statistic have a source you opened today? Would you be comfortable if this were forwarded to the reader's boss?

05

Printable

One page each, with real checkboxes. Pin the one you use most.

02
Look inside

These are the actual pages you get.

Screenshots are taken from the file itself, not a mock-up. What you see here is what lands in your inbox.

How to use it

Three steps, then it is yours.

  1. 1Print the page for what you are writing, or keep it open beside the draft.
  2. 2Work top to bottom: structure, sentences, words, facts, final.
  3. 3Tick every box. The last box on each page is the one people skip.

Questions

Before you download

01Why five separate pages instead of one list?

Because a landing page and an essay fail in different places. One generic list is either too long or too vague for both.

02Can Orwellix run these checks?

The sentence-level ones, yes: readability per sentence, passive voice, adverbs and qualifiers, grammar, with an AI agent that fixes the flagged sentences in place. The structure and fact checks are still yours.

03Are the targets the same as the readability cheat sheet?

Yes. Both draw on the same published guidance, so the numbers agree.
