How To Edit Your Book or Writing Projects

Michael Crichton once said, "Books aren't written - they're rewritten. Including your own."

When he started writing, editing literally meant rewriting things time and again, but with modern technology, this process is iterative such that your manuscript evolves from a crude state to a final product. In this video, I'll give you a peek into the editing process I use and talk about the different kinds of editing to help you work on your own edits for your writing projects.
