Fix Your Damn Book! - A Self-Editing Guide for Authors

[James]

I'm a professional editor and served on staff at the Journal of Dementia Care and Alzheimer's Australia as a writer and editor. When I started publishing, I realized that there was still relatively little information on editing for Indies, but it has become a more pressing issue over time.

Fix Your Damn Book! is a self-help manual for writers who have finished a manuscript – a novel, novella, short story, or serial – and who want to self-edit their work to a professional standard and get it on the market.

Fix Your Damn Book! will:
• Introduce you to the seven essential components of successful editing;
• Help you get in the right headspace to edit your own work;
• Teach you to objectively diagnose problems in your manuscript;
• Walk you through the secrets of developmental editing and line editing;
• Teach you hacks for sharpening your story, character, and dialogue;
• Guide you through copy-editing and grammar, including a copy-editing essentials checklist;
• Give you guidelines on recruiting and making the most out of your first readers;
• Cover proofreading and publishing.

You will also find a special section on writing and editing query letters, advice on developing characters and stories, a list of the best software to help you write and edit, and much more!
