SELF EDITING FOR FICTION WRITERS
Self Editing for Fiction Writers: How to Edit Yourself Into Print by Renni Browne and Dave King
Getting ready to start your novel? Partway through the first draft? Done with the first draft and ready to re-draft or revise? Struggling? Not struggling but want your manuscript to stand out? Get this book, and don't just put in on your bookshelf. Read it. Explore it. Underline. Highlight. Keep it open and within arm's length as you move along. Whether you're frequently published or new at this game, it's an invaluable tool. I had the first edition early in my career and practically wore it out. The newer edition (2004) is equally as valuable. The chapter on voice alone is worth the price of the book.
