As you may already know, I'm getting close to finishing my revisions for Odd Squad, and teetering on the edge of making my first round of submissions. The closer I get, the more nervous I'm becoming about sending it off.
So, in an attempt to make sure I don't miss something critical, I've been reading a book that I picked up recently called: Self-Editing for Fiction Writers by Renni Browne and Dave King.
The book covers a wide range of areas to look at, and provides a good selections of examples to back up the lesson. On a personal note, I was quite pleased and re-assured that I knew most of the things mentioned, but it also helped sharpen and remind me of things to check on my (hopefully) final round of revisions. It's been a great help.
What about you guys? Have you found something that has helped you edit your work?
No! Well, reading and re-reading for two years until I am (finally) happy with it and ready to submit :-)
