Write, Edit, Revise: Learn Writing Skills, Editing Skills and Revising Skills
Write, Edit, Revise
I divided writing an eBook into three phases. The first is writing a draft in simple sentences while organizing the facts correctly. The second is editing the book to ensure the formatting is correct, and all the information is in the proper place. The third is revising sentences and paragraphs to improve the eBook. Revising includes formatting the eBook for Kindle and proofreading the book.
What’s in it for You?
At first, this will seem difficult. If you work through the process once, you will find it is easier to write books when you can see the end from the beginning.
How to Write an eBook
Sentence Writing: You will learn an easy process for writing sentences that sound natural. You will do writing exercises and find you can easily combine these sentences into paragraphs.
Paragraph Writing: You will learn how to structure a paragraph into three main parts for non-fiction writing. There is a special section for fiction writing.
Section writing: You will learn how to organize the paragraphs within a section with one easy step. Even fiction writers can use this method.
Chapter and Book Organization: You will learn how to work from the bottom up, so the book is organized when the first draft is complete.
How to Edit an eBook
Part 1: Use my unique checklist to ensure you formatted the book correctly
Part 2: Use my checklist to drill down into the chapters, sections, paragraphs, and sentences to ensure all the information is organized correctly.
Note: You will not rewrite during the editing phase.
How to Revise an eBook
You will only need to rewrite sentences and paragraphs in this phase because everything is organized correctly.
The next step is a comprehensive spelling and grammar check. Finally, you will upload and proofread your eBook for Amazon.

This book is interesting, and I think it contains some value. It's definitely very geared towards writing non-fiction, though, which I think isn't clearly explained in either the title or the synopsis.
As promised, the author explains the three "job descriptions" of an indie author: those of writing, editing, and revising. He starts out by explaining how to write a simple sentence, by asking the questions "Who? What? When? How? Why?" There are practical examples and exercises that he wants you to complete, and I think he talks down to the reader a lot. It's useful to remember these questions when constructing sentences, but honestly the sentences that come out of following his examples are far too simple and uninteresting for me to want to read them (once again, though, it probably works far better for non-fiction).
I did really enjoy the section on removing redundant words. Look at a really long, wordy paragraph, and remove all the words which do not add to the meaning. You can easily cut the length of the paragraph by 50% by doing this, making it far more interesting and easier to read. This is definitely something I will start doing!
There are also tips on editing your chapter, paragraph, and section headings, and making the information you wish to impart flow more easily. It's useful, but difficult to read, and a lot of it may be irrelevant to you depending on what you like to write.
