Synopsis
Forget the endless list of writing “rules”—we’re focusing on what truly matters: editing for your readers’ experience.
Well-placed commas won’t make readers fall in love with your story. Crafting something they want to keep reading will. And to do that, you need an editing process built around storytelling, not surface-level tweaks.
Whether you're a first-time author or ten books in, Edit Your Way gives you the tools to take control of your editing with less burnout, less second-guessing, and less of that “I have no idea what I’m doing” spiral.
This isn’t a grammar guide. It’s not a list of arbitrary “rules” to follow when editing. It’s a blueprint for building your own editing process—one that fits your voice, your goals, and the way you write.
I’ll show you how to approach everything from story structure and pacing to editing mindset and workflow, with step-by-step guidance for tackling edits. Because editing shouldn’t feel chaotic.
I’ve spent over 20 years in publishing, edited more than 1,000 books—including multiple #1 New York Times bestsellers—and worked with thousands of authors through my Before You Hit Send® course. I’ve taken everything I’ve learned and distilled it into this practical guide based on real editing experience.
With tools, templates, exercises, and a customizable “how-to edit” framework, Edit Your Way will help you build a repeatable editing process that works for every book you write—before you ever touch a comma.
If editing feels like your enemy, I’ll help you turn it into your most powerful ally.
