Self-Editing for Fiction Writers

Renni Browne, a former senior editor at William Morrow and other publishing houses, quit mainstream publishing in 1980 to establish The Editorial Department, a national book-editing firm.

Dave King is a Writer's Digest contributing editor. In his spare time, he works as an independent editor from his home in rural Ashfield, Massachusetts.

Hundreds of books on writing have been written. Finally, two professional editors have written a book to educate writers the editing procedures that turn promising manuscripts into published novels and short stories.

Renni Browne and Dave King teach you, the writer, how to use the editing techniques they've established to your own writing in this entirely revised and updated second edition- Self-Editing for Fiction Writers. Chapters on dialogue, exposition, point of view, interior monologue, and other strategies walk you through the exact steps that a professional editor would take to perfect your work. Each thesis is supported with examples, many of which are chosen from the hundreds of books Browne and King have edited.
