Ever wish a writing expert would take an in-depth, detailed look at your writing and recommend changes that make it shine? Editing done too early can be a bit like taking a drink from a firehose, but if you’re at the tail end of your process—and by that I mean with at least four drafts and several beta readers’ comments behind you—you’re ready for editing. I’ll use Microsoft Word’s Track Changes feature to mark areas that need attention. I’ll make suggestions on word choice, check grammar, and make sure your manuscript is ready to present to an agent or submit to a contest with the goal of winning.
