Though I started and stopped many times, it wasn\u2019t until the year I turned forty that I actually completed a whole novel. After consulting the Writers\u2019 and Artists\u2019 Yearbook, I sent it out to six agents. One of them got back to me almost immediately and asked to see a full copy of my manuscript. For the next three weeks, I was floating on air. I thought I\u2019d made it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the reply came, it was a pass. Although the agent liked the premise, and my writing, the novel itself needed too much work for her to offer to represent me. I came back down to earth with a big bump. Then I read her email again. Alongside the \u2018no\u2019, she\u2019d given me some detailed advice about what the novel needed and she\u2019d been really encouraging to try again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s when I realised that the real work comes in the editing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the next eighteen months, I took the Self-Edit Your Novel<\/strong><\/a> course with Jericho Writes, read books and blogs on novel writing, pulled the whole story apart and put it back together again with all I\u2019d learned. This time, when I sent it out, I got an email from Bookouture within two days and \u2013 a week later \u2013 signed my first three book deal. \u00a0From that process, and through working on another eighteen novels with Bookouture, these are five things I\u2019ve learned about self-editing. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Begin with a Bang<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first chapter is so important for hooking your reader and giving them a taste of what they can expect from your story and writing style. Before sending off a manuscript, ensure that your first chapter is your best foot forward. Have you started in the right place in the story? Is there enough action? Are you hooking your reader with a question they will want answered? Is there a promise of conflict? An element of mystery? A protagonist they will enjoy spending three hundred pages with? Is it clear what your character wants to achieve?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up the stakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once your reader is clear what your protagonist wants, they will need to know what the consequences are if they succeed or fail in achieving it. The bigger those consequences, the bigger the impact on the reader. When you are editing, ask yourself how you can increase the danger for your protagonist. Where is the jeopardy? When will the reader be shouting at them to do, or not do, something? Raising the stakes will elevate a good story into a great one. Consider the threats to your character\u2019s survival, relationships, security and sense of self.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hit the beats<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Writing two books a year, I find it hugely helpful to have a detailed plan for my story before I begin. If you\u2019re more of an organic writer and prefer to build the story as you go, it will be during the editing process that you wrestle your manuscript into shape to ensure that your story is hitting the beats in the right order at the right time. This is vital to avoid having \u2018saggy\u2019 sections in your novel which might cause readers to stop reading. The two books which have taught me the most about story structure and the beats of story are John Yorke\u2019s \u2018Into the Woods\u2019 and Jessica Brody\u2019s \u2018Save the Cat Writes a Novel\u2019 and I still refer back to them both for every book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut, cut, cut<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Stephen King wrote that you need to \u2018kill your darlings\u2019 if they don\u2019t serve the story. When you know you\u2019ve spent hours (Days? Weeks? Months?) of time on a scene and you\u2019re really proud of the prose, it can be very hard to cut it. But readers want a plot that keeps moving, characters who keep evolving and everything has to serve the theme of your story. Take each chapter in turn and ensure that the reader learns something new in that chapter or that it moves the story on in some way. If not, it needs to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polish your Prose<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Look for unnecessary filter phrases \u2013 she thought that, he knew that, they believed that \u2013 which can create distance between your character and your reader. Be vigilant for any \u2018tics\u2019 that your characters have developed \u2013 nodding heads, rolling eyes, lumps in throats all lose their impact if they\u2019re repeated \u2013 and any that you have as a writer. I know that I have a tendency to overuse the words \u2018so\u2019 and \u2018really\u2019 in my dialogue. So, I really make sure I check for that. (That one was on purpose.) All of these can creep into a first draft without you realising it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
