I’m not going to tell you how to write, I’m going to open the toy box and let you play.
We’ve written a book but how do we make it shine? In Editing, Editing, Editing we’re going to look at what editing is, how we can balance showing and telling, and how we can streamline our description.
We can play with our prose to reveal or hide our story’s secrets; all we need is the right brush stroke.

Short Stories
Exposition
Foreshadowing
Building a World
Setting, Atmosphere, and Sense Description
Self-Editing and Editing Others

review for book 1 applies here, and in addition, this craft knowledge is so so helpful to any writer!
What I like most about these craft books is the understanding of linguistics that Stuart sets out. Few 'advice' books do this. They judge and set strict ideas of what correct writing is without the nuanced comprehension of the history and hodgepodge of arbitrary rules that inhabit it.
Stuart doesn't tell the reader off or insinuate themselves as superior but lays out the constructional pathways and techniques available with how and why they exist. Plus, all of this is achieved in an accessible way.
Not only does the author know their stuff, they know how to impart that knowledge without condescension or self-aggrandisement. A wonderful set of books and definitely worth reading!
