The first job is distance.
Two to four weeks is the window I usually give clients, though longer is much better (yes, writing a novel is a very slow process that requires time).Â
Once you’ve got that distance, this guide goes in the order I’d edit in.
Work through it in order

Grab it now by filling out the form below, and say goodbye to panic-editing, second-guessing every sentence, and trying to revise a book you’re still too close to see clearly.
