STORY STUDY
As Stephen King says, “If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot.” Here’s how I use my reading to inform my editing—and how you can, too.
STRUCTURE
Does the end of your story pay off everything you set up in the beginning and the middle? Here’s how to tell whether your story’s end works—and how to fix it if it doesn’t.
SCENES
If your characters don’t do something in every scene, you’ll bore your readers. Here’s how to make sure your characters don’t just think, but take action in every scene.
EDITING PROCESS, FEEDBACK, PRO EDITING
Have you received developmental feedback on your novel? Here’s the process I recommend to turn the feedback you receive into actionable edits.
THEME
