"Rewriting a passive construction to be active almost always makes what you’re saying clearer."
Example: Millions of dollars were embezzled from the company.
Revision: Two executives embezzled millions of dollars from the company.

  What I think about when I edit — Eva Parish
  from Eva Parish
  I’m often asked to edit friends’ or coworkers’ writing, anything from emails to short stories to documentation. Recently, someone asked me how I edit. What am I looking for? How do I know what changes to make? That made me stop and think about what I’ve been doing semi-instinctually.
