Self-editing can be both fun and easy! Learn common things to look for in your own manuscript, and learn tricks for critiquing others, as well.
In my years as a freelance editor and in working with the editors at my publishing houses, there are several issues that often come up in manuscripts I critique and in my own manuscripts, over and over again. Learn what they are so you can polish your own manuscript and make it clean and professional. In addition, it will help you know how to critique others' stories with both sensitivity and insight. |
Camy Tang writes romance with a kick of wasabi. Originally from Hawaii, she worked as a biologist for 9 years, but now she writes full time. She also runs the Story Sensei fiction critique service, which specializes in book doctoring. On her blog, she gives away Christian novels, and she ponders frivolous things like dumb dogs (namely,
hers), coffee-geek husbands (no resemblance to her own...), the writing journey, Asiana, and anything else that comes to mind. Visit Camy and sign up for her newsletter Yahoo! Group for monthly giveways!

THE SCENE OF THE CRIME
The Grant family's exclusive Sonoma spa is a place for rest and relaxation--not murder! Then Naomi Grant finds her client Jessica Ortiz bleeding to death in her massage room, and everything falls apart. The salon's reputation is at stake...and so is Naomi's freedom
when she discovers that she is one of the main suspects! Her only solace is found with the other suspect--Dr. Devon Knightley, the victim's ex-husband. But Devon is hiding secrets of his own. When they come to light, where can Naomi turn and whom can she trust?
