Self-Editing Tips for self-publishers

Does this sound familiar?

  • You have a good story with strong characters and an interesting story arc.
  • You write in an active voice as much as possible.
  • You do not have serious problems with grammar, spelling, syntax, sentence and paragraph construction, and noun/verb agreement.
  • You SHOW rather than TELL.
  • You avoid clichés and find fresh ways to tell your story.

In short, you write well, but...

  • Your manuscripts aren’t being snapped up by agents and editors.
  • Your self-published book with its fascinating characters and twisted plot isn’t selling.
  • Reviewers, agents, and publishers say things like, “Nice idea, but it’s not a project I can bring to the market at this time.”

Why not?
