Final Manuscript Review PDF Edit Guide

How to fix your own pages

$16.99PDF guide, 10 pages, instant download

For the draft that is done enough to read and not done enough to publish. Five passes, one job per pass, and a two-week plan. No software required. A red pen helps.

  • Pass one: what the book is, in one sentence
  • Pass two: cut the late start
  • Pass three: repeats and fat
  • Pass four: facts, names, and time
  • Pass five: the last ten pages, and when to hand it to a reader
