What Are Some Self-Editing Tips? | Ep. 218 | The Merry Writer Podcast

EPISODE SHOW NOTES

The writing doesn’t end after the first draft! Before you send your manuscript to beta readers and editors, take some time to self-edit your work. This week, we discuss tips to self-editing to be productive and also make it fun.

In this episode, we cover:

• Keeping a checklist and questions to answer

• Reading through your manuscript out loud

• Change the font style, size, or color

• Recognize your “pain words”

• and more!

As always, thanks for listening, and let us know your thoughts on this topic in the comments below.
