/> Adventures in Writing YA: Editing, editing and a little bit more editing!

Friday 1 June 2012

Editing, editing and a little bit more editing!

Well, I'm in the publication month of Witchcraft now and everything has gone so smoothly I may bring the publication date forward to coincide with the first day of my blog tour, which would be the 16th June, rather than the 25th!


That gives me two weeks to fine tune the final edit. I have had great feedback from five lovely Beta readers, two of which are book bloggers, so you'll be able to read their reviews on the tour - look out for Nancy's review at The Avid Reader on the 18th and Kim's at The Caffeinated Diva on the 20th.

I am a little nervous that this time around I haven't been able to afford to pay Cornerstones to help me with the edit, and I'm hoping that I've managed to take on board all their tips from last time... The one thing I find most difficult is the 'show, don't tell' rule. It's so easy to fall into this trap, so this week I'm doing a final read through, looking in particular for this kind of error! But over all I think my writing just might bit a bit tighter, a bit more pacey and hopefully a bit more exciting! Lets hope you all agree!

  1. That would be great to be able to publish Witchcraft at an earlier date.
