So you've finished your draft. Congratulations! Now take a deep breath—here's where the fun begins.
Before you send your story into the world, make sure it's as polished as it can be. To help you, authors from different genres have shared their insight and wisdom gained over the years. Read below to learn what not to do during revisions as well as what you absolutely should do, and you may even come across a few tips you never thought to consider. 1. Read your work aloud. "You may sound full of yourself, but this is the best way to listen for rhythm—or lack of it, to zone in on klutzy spots and to hear words you may overuse: all, always, just, so, usually, very, perhaps, really… If you repeat words, be intentional about it." - Sally Koslow |
