Synopsis

Many books on editing tend to talk about the major areas of a book: character growth, story development, scene structuring, and pace. Yes, those are important to every story. Without them, the story falls flat. One part of editing hasn't been adequately covered--the finer points. Dunne With Editing addresses those points one by one. Dunne With Editing gives short explanations and adds enough examples to make each point clear without overloading the reader. A handy checklist is included. Learn to polish your prose above and beyond what other writers are doing--or perhaps don't know how to do. Editors and publishers will notice the difference between your book and the ones by authors who haven't sharpened their skills as well as you have. Make sure you send a highly polished manuscript to a publisher. Dunne With Editing can help you do that.
