Author Self-Editing Hacks


Romance Writers!🌹 What’s the most challenging part of editing your love story?

Is it perfecting the dialogue, smoothing out the plot, or catching those crafty typos?

A couple more tips to add to your repertoire:
✨Use text-to-speech tools to listen to your writing if you’re not down to hear your voice. Or grab a loved one and ask them to bring your story to life!
✨When making multiple passes, try breaking up the edits into stages:
1. Big-picture structure, pacing, and character development
2. Sentence Structure, word choice
3. Grammar, punctuation, and typos

Of course, everyone has their own process. Figuring out what works for you is key. Trial and error is the best teacher.
