Copyeditors don't get the credit they deserve. No bylines. No chances to interview famous people. No press invitation to fancy openings. But it's copyeditors who "can lift the quality of the publication in ways that no other journalist can match," says James Glen Stovall, a University of Tennessee journalism professor known online as JPROF. What I just did is called attribution, giving credit to someone for his work instead of just lifting it without acknowledgement.
It was through his website JProf that I found a study guide I think might help you polish your copyediting skills -- not to mention your language! Click HERE to begin brushing up.

By editing the article is another form of brushing up, We get to fix the red marks, So friends don't worry If you get the article with many errors just fix it every time until you get the better version of it:)I got to know what exactly DR. J wanted from my g.w article and after editing it 4 times I got the correct version!
GOOD Luck everyone!
I'll have to write my stories again, hope they appear in good shape after all =D

Editing is very important step in writing a story or an article and it guides us toward the perfection. Thus, sometimes we need to edit a story several times and sometimes we get bored with doing this. But, we should remember that this will help us in publishing a great magazine without errors.
So, friends work hard to have better stories without errors :)
