Two approaches to editing and revising

We suspect some of our authors used the three-day weekend to catch up on their writing, while others stepped away so they could return to their manuscripts with fresh eyes.

For the latter camp, we have advice from multiple sources to help move their drafts along.

Joanna Penn featured Natasa Lekic, the founder of New York Book Editors, on her podcast recently; in addition to going over the various types of editing, the pair discussed how authors can prepare their manuscripts for editors and how they can process the feedback they receive.
