Intuitive Editing
Tiffany Yates Martin, a developmental book editor with more than 25 years in the publishing industry, has worked on books by New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling authors and award winners, as well as newer writers, through her company FoxPrint Editorial. She leads objective editing and writing craft workshops for writers' groups, organizations, and conferences to teach authors how to edit and revise their own work. She also provides editing tips and creative story revision advice for a variety of writers' websites and publications.
Editing your own writing can feel like performing brain surgery on yourself. When you've finished your manuscript and are standing at the base of Revision Mountain, reaching the summit can seem impossible. It's difficult to look at your own writing with the objective eye required to shape it into a tight, polished, publishable story—but self-editing, like writing, is a skill that can be learned.
Tiffany Yates Martin, developmental editor, has spent her career in the publishing industry honing practical, actionable techniques to assist authors in evaluating how well their story is working, where it might not be, and how to fix it. She guides writers through every step of deepening and elevating their own work, as well as how to approach the edit and develop their "editor brain," and how to solicit and process feedback, with a clear, accessible, and user-friendly approach. Intuitive Editing does not provide one-size-fits-all advice or rigid writing "rules," but rather assists authors in discovering what works for their story and style—finding the best version of their vision.
Intuitive Editing will give you the tools you need to edit and revise your own writing with inspiration, motivation, and confidence, whether you're writing fiction, narrative nonfiction, or memoir.
