What’s Empath’s Emporium?
The key to writing good annotations is to strengthen our language. Empath’s Emporium is a weekly series highlighting three superbly written annotations from the past week. The goal is for us all to discuss how we can improve the quality of our writing. Plus, praise and upvotes!
Check out last week’s installment here.
How do you decide which annotations to feature?
These annotations are already tightly written, meaning they need to be edited a maximum of 5% attribution. They should contain no unnecessary padding and minimal errors. These are the kinds of annotations we should be shooting for!
For more detailed info on the standards I’m going by, check out the Refining Language and Contextualizing Tate Talks.
