A personal writer’s style guide is just what it sounds like. A list of your own personal writing issues. Copy editors make them as they work, so that writers can use them for self-editing.
Imagine, a list of all of your own writing weak spots, so that you can easily find and fix them in your manuscript. The good news is that you don’t need someone else to make one for you.
You can do it for yourself.
There are probably some problems that you're already aware of. Overuse of dialogue tags. Repetitive words. Point-of-view or tense slips.
This book walks you through some of the most common writing problem areas and teaches you how to correct them. When you do, you’ll elevate your writing immediately. And then you can use them to start creating your own personal writer’s style guide.
