Product Description
Product Description
Using an easy-to-reference format, experienced editor Michael Seidman shows writers how to approach fiction from three angles: "macro editing," style editing and market editing. In the first section, writers will reread their manuscript paying close attention to the continuity of narrative elements, such as point of view, characterization, sequencing and dialogue. After revising and rearranging these elements, writers will edit stylistic aspects, scanning their work with foolproof techniques that ensure proper spelling, grammar and word choice. This guide also teaches how to edit work from a marketing perspective, so writers can keep the expectations of their readership firmly in mind as they title their manuscripts and write their submissions.
