I am wondering if there is a word for making something less graphic.
For example, let’s say there was a book about murder.



If an author was changing this, to make it seem less graphic, what would you use.
I guess it could a verb.

  • Depending on the exact context and sentence structure, "censor" might work.  It seems to me that this suggests that somebody other than the author is doing the revisions.  If that's an issue, consider "self-censor". (And, of course, the noun form is "censorship".)
