Author and Editor, LOD Revisited

In my years of writing, I have learned more and more about editing and revising a manuscript. My years in college pursuing an English degree certainly helped. I explored grammar and story genres, and often collaborated with other writers in the classes to improve upon my writing.

It can be hard to have an objective view of your own work. It's hard to switch your mind to a reader's perspective, to pretend that you've never read your book before and to see what could be better; this is especially so when you receive critique from other writers, because they are objectively coming from both a reader and a writer's perspective (or at least they should be). It's something I'm still learning to do!

I find the revision process just as satisfying as the writing process. It's exciting to see your manuscript turning from a raw rock into a polished jewel.



Recently I've been working on The Legend of Draconite Revisited project, an editing/revision project. People on Goodreads will notice the LOD quintet listed on my written books list. However, they are currently unavailable for purchase, as the entire series is receiving an overhaul to prepare it for submissions to a traditional publisher. You can still find my other books on Lulu.com.

I also want to note here that all my eBooks on Lulu are $5. They are available as .pdfs.

Thanks for reading!
