Several blogs demonstrate before/after (or at least detailed line-edits on early drafts). - [Evil Editor](http://evileditor.blogspot.com/) often does it for query letters. - [Edittorrent](http://edittorrent.blogspot.com/) covers all sorts of topics, and the archives have lots of before/after examples. - [Miss Snark](http://misssnark.blogspot.com/) no longer blogs, but her archives have many good examples. One of my favorite writing books, [Self-Editing for Fiction Writers](http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Self-Editing-for-Fiction-Writers-Second-Edition/Renni-Browne/e/9780060545697/?itm=2&USRI=self-editing+for+fiction+writers), shows before/after examples. I find before/after examples most useful on small examples, sentences, paragraphs, maybe a page or two. Beyond that, it's too hard to see the correlation.
