Tips to Self-Edit
- Read Your Work Out Loud: It helps consume your manuscript with a fresh perspective
- Take Action… Verbs! Are you starting every paragraph with “there is” or “they are?” It’s fine to do that once in a while, but consider switching up your verbs every so often.
- Watch Your Purple Prose: Don't overuse flowery sentences
- Stop Repeating Yourself
- Curb Your Time Traveling: Stick to a type of tenses
- Eschew Prolixity: Cut out wordy phrases until they’re no longer strangling your sentences.
