About this title

Synopsis

Edit Ready is an author's reference book for use during story development, writing and both self editing and when you get your manuscript back from your editor.Put like that, it sounds rather dry, but reference books always do.Actually, though, although it has an exhaustive contents page, three different indexes and 6 appendices, this is not a dry reference book. In fact, the ink has never been dry for long.Because Edit Ready is compiled from notes, guidance, teaching and conversation with authors, while working with them to make their manuscripts as good as they can, but also, to help them to become better authors. Every time I edit a book, I look at the topics that arise, and try to find a way of generalizing the help and advice I give to its author, so that I can pass the advice on to all authors.So really, Edit Ready is an attempt to avoid editing, by ensuring you know in advance about anything and everything that your editor has to deal with. The idea is that this will make you a better writer.
