INTRODUCTION

SELF-EDITING

Self-editing can be a daunting part of the publishing process, but it is a necessary skill set every writer must have.

WHEN TO DO YOUR SELF-EDIT?

Whether you’ve been self-editing your story/book along the way or have waited until you’ve typed “The End,” you will want to make sure your manuscript is as polished as you can possibly make it.

It’s important to emphasize that writers should not rely solely on self-editing before submitting or publishing. Getting the help of a professional editor is crucial to your success as an author.

However, if you know how to prepare your manuscript for your editor, you will save time, money, and frustration.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

In this masterclass, you will be guided through a thorough checklist of common issues in story structure, plot, characterization, grammar, sentence structure, punctuation, and formatting.

This will ensure that your self-editing process is efficient and that your manuscript is as tight and clean as can be before handing it off to your editor.
