You finished the draft. Now what? The Self-Edit is a 25-page digital workbook that walks you, step by step, through revising your first draft on your own — no workshop, no cohort, just you, your manuscript, and a process you'll return to on every book you write.
Inside: how to shift from drafting mode into revision mode, create real distance from your own pages, diagnose structure and pacing, line-edit for voice, work through genre-specific checklists, catch what a normal read-through misses, know when the manuscript is actually done, and choose beta readers who'll give you feedback you can use. Every chapter includes real exercises, not just theory.
The Self-Edit is Book One of a three-part series. Book Two covers querying agents. Book Three covers navigating publishing as a debut author.
Format: Digital download (PDF), 25 pages
Best for: Writers with a completed first draft ready to revise.
