How to Edit Your Novel
So you’ve written a novel, and now you want to do what? Edit it? Delete words you spent hours carefully piecing together to form a narrative. Why would you want to do that? 😬
First up, congratulations! You have achieved a massive milestone in putting those 60,000+ words one after the other. It may or may not make sense at this point. It’s a red-hot mess, but that’s okay. This is what editing is for.
And yes, you need to edit your book. Just because you have written the greatest space opera of all time, does not mean that you can just publish it or submit it without editing.
So – fanfare please – I’m going to take you through how I edit my novels. This is not a definitive series of steps, but if they work for your process, I hope they help you edit your novel.
