Finding mistakes in your own writing can be an exercise in frustration. When you absolutely must DIY, this guide offers tips to make editing your writing easier. Separate sections cover:
* Introduction
* Getting Started
* Digital Publishing
* Matters of Style
* What About Length?
You'll learn which comes first, editing or proofreading and why; how to cut down your material to a required length; about different style handbooks and how to learn whether to use the MLA, Chicago, AP or another style guideline; about editing on the screen and when it is better to print out your manuscript; and how a critique fits in to all this and what to expect from one.
Please note the size of this file. It is not a full-length book and does not teach editing per se. To edit writing, ! you need to learn about different styles, grammar, syntax, punctuation, capitalization, formatting and many other nitty-gritty elements that a professional editor handles. What it does offer is an explanation of the process if you insist on doing it yourself.
