CREATIVE EDITING 62 words
Proof and clarify, with reasoning per change
Your draft is finished and you can't see its faults any more. This fixes typos and grammar first, then shows where to cut for clarity, then flags any sentence that sounds clever but says less than it pretends to. Keeps the tone you wanted and tells you why each change earns its place. For the piece that's nearly there.
