Make Your Manuscript Stronger Before You Send It to an Editor

A free self-editing guide for indie fiction authors

You've read your manuscript dozens of times. You know your characters, your plot, and every twist and turn by heart.

But that can also make it difficult to spot the things that aren't working.

This free guide will help you step back from your manuscript and give it the careful read it needs before you send it off for professional editing.

What’s inside

This guide will help you approach your manuscript with a more objective eye and give you a clear process for working through your self-edit.

You’ll learn what to look for when reviewing your story, from the elements that shape the reader’s experience to the smaller details that can distract from your writing. Along the way, you’ll find practical questions and reminders to help you spot weaknesses, inconsistencies, and areas that could use some extra attention.

You’ll also learn how to give your manuscript one final thorough review and prepare it for a professional editor, so you can make the most of your editorial feedback when the time comes.
