Synopsis

Linda K. Taylor is passionate about words—so passionate, in fact, that she has spent the better part of her life reading, writing, and editing, all in the service of writers to help their writing be the best it can be. Linda understands the writing process and how difficult self-editing can be. This book helps writers who have just completed a manuscript and know they need to edit it but don’t know how to begin. Walking through questions to ask when content editing, common grammar and punctuation errors to watch for when copyediting, when to get permissions, how to format manuscripts, and how to work with Bible text, Linda’s book is filled with valuable information for writers who want to take their manuscripts to the next level.
