Editing Saves Lives (and your book)!

4 Kinds of Editing = 4 Passes #1. Structure: edit for logical sequence, flow #2. Language: clear language, readable

4 Kinds of Editing = 4 Passes #3. Copy editing: grammar, punctuation, spelling 4. Proofreading: final reading to pick up new typos

1st Pass –Check it Over Go thru your transcript: 1. Make sure all paragraphs are bite–sized 2. Remove “uhms” & repetition (ok, well…so…)

Read it Yourself Does it make sense and flow logically? Is anything missing? Is there anything that doesn’t add value to your reader?

Beginner’s tip Don’t be married to your words or stories. (If it doesn’t help your reader, toss it out!)

Check for Stories Does every section have at least one good story – or more? If not, add them in!
