3. If you want to do some light "line-editing" of your own work, read it out loud. So many people don't do this step. When you read it out loud you catch so much at the sentence level that you can fix yourself. #pubtip

2. The best thing an author can do is to learn how to edit their OWN work. Whether they develop that skill through workshop, or working with CP partners, who I am looking for is clients who can go off with my editorial comments & actually do thoughtful & meaningful work. #pubtip

1. Line-editing is a very technical skill. I actually took classes and am trained to line-edit, yet I still don't do it very often. I definitely wouldn't do it for free or in exchange for someone who had no clue what they were doing to attempt it for me. #pubtip
