Reviews for About Editing: an essential guide for authors

"""As someone at the stage of revising a manuscript, this was really helpful in terms of charting a path through the stages of the process. I found it very clear and accessible to read, and structured in a way that made perfect sense to me."" FJ ""I found the section on different types of editing, at different stages, and possible combinations of these-with the support of beta readers-particularly useful. I wasn't previously aware of all the different types of editing, and the unique focus of each one."" ER ""This book will be a great reference to help authors bring their creative vision to a workable reality."" HB ""Very helpful as a reference manual for writers completing their next draft. In the midst of living with our characters, we sometimes forget the logistics."" Fiction author"
