Everything about self-editing your next NOVEL!
YOU CAN TELL from the early pages that Lyndsey Smith knows what she’s talking about. She’s a professional editor after all, but her knowledge and ability span much more broadly. She has an extensive knowledge of the industry standards and the genre’s expectations, and she immerses you in this resource with the sole aim to have you bring your novel to the next level. All by yourself.
Keep in mind the aim of the book is not to replace the need to hire a professional editor. It’s a tool provided to you to help you polish your manuscript to the best of your ability.
How to Self-Edit your Novel is divided into 4 parts: Content Editing, Character Development, Line and Copy Editing, and a Detailed Punctuation Guide, all thoroughly and extensively developed with theories and examples of what to do and what to avoid, as well as exercises and homework at the end of every chapter to help you test your skills and put into practice the lessons just learned.
Finally, the resource provides us with a comprehensive editing checklist, tips on proofreading our work, and everything else needed to finish prepping our next book before its launch. From writing your blurb and finding a title to overcoming the dreaded Imposter syndrome, Lyndsey has you covered.
