Congratulations! You typed “The End” and you’ve popped the celebratory bottle of Moët or sparkling cider you’ve been saving for this very occasion. *Clink!* Now that you’re done cheering your huge accomplishment, pull on your gumboots and get back in the trenches: It’s time to send your book to the editor.
In this seminar, we will discuss:
the different types of editors
the layers of editing
what you can expect from an editor
the pros and cons of programs like ProWritingAid and AutoCrit
how to use AI to assist you in the self-editing process
deciding whether you really need an editor if you’re querying agents
some great self-editing tips and techniques you can take on yourself to make sure your manuscript is in tip-top shape before you send it off to that agent or editor
Bring your questions and be ready to get red-inked!
