EDITING The RedPen Way: 10 steps to successful self-editing

Love writing but hate editing?
Suffering from editing overwhelm?
Tired of rejection slips and wondering how to improve your writing?
You need EDITING The RedPen Way!
In this book, Anne Rainbow explains her tried and tested approach to self-editing. Anne's objective was - and still is - to help budding writers to learn how to edit their own words, and therefore to maximise their chances of having their stories and novels accepted for publication.
With her simple three-task system, Anne shows how EDITING The RedPen Way can become a SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely) route to a polished manuscript. And, she makes it sound fun!
