A comprehensive modern manual on how to self-edit your book.
Written by a professional editor, this book gives you a clear and easy-to-follow process that mirrors the editing that a traditionally published book undergoes.Broken down into structural, sentence-level and proofreading stages, each section is copiously illustrated with before-and-after edited examples.
In it, you will find answers to all the commonly asked questions, like:
- "Should I have a prologue?"
- "How do I punctuate dialogue properly?"
- "How many characters are too many characters?"
- "How do I write thoughts?"
- "Is passive voice always wrong?"
- How to use beta readers
- How to write a synopsis
- What to look for when hiring an editor
- Pros and cons of editing software
Read what other authors and editors have said about it:
"I have read articles, watched videos etc about writing, but I have learned more from your book than from all of those other sources together. It is also very well-written, precise and with specific examples and makes an enjoyable as well as educational read."
"This is an invaluable resource for a growing subset of writers ... everything I’ve ever wanted to say to self-publishing authors, presented clearly and respectfully."
"An invaluable guide for aspiring indie authors. I will cherish this book."
" I have read it twice now and am reading the first part, the part about developmental editing, for a third time. I expect to read the whole book several more times in the next couple of years."
As recommended by professional editors worldwide.
Note: Self-editing is not a substitute for employing a professional editor. For your book to be the very best it can be, you will still need another set of eyes on it. Diligently following the advice in this book, however, means that your editor will have far less work to do, and therefore charge a fraction of what they would have needed to charge to edit a rough first draft.

Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.

Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
