Interview with Julia Dudek on Self-Editing -- Part II
[image error] Julia Dudek's website
4. If someone wanted to edit their own book, what advice would you give them?
I would tell them not to get lazy. I would tell them to expect it to be the most daunting process of writing, especially for a first novel. I would insist that a writer print out "The Ten (Comma)ndments" and tack it to his or her wall! And I would also suggest that if an answer to a particular style or grammar question doesn't seem to exist, then there is probably more than one right answer.
