Currently I'm copy-editing a Danish non-fiction book which has been translated into English. It's easy to get bogged down in long sentence structures and forget the overall sense of what is on the page. I've found that the best way to check a sentence is just to read it quickly out loud. Often that's all it takes to realise what's missing or what needs changing. You could try this with your writing today.

Yours, Cressida
