Description

Want to make the text of your novel sparkle, but don't know where to start? Perplexed by point of view? Addled by adverbs? Confounded by contractions? It's OK. You got this. I know, because even a moron like me can line edit fiction. Together we're going to go through the basics - and even some of the not-so basics - of how to line edit. I wrote loads of examples. I threw in a bunch of advice that I got from published authors and professional editors. I put down why some things are OK and other things are not, rather than just shouting at you. Oh, and when you're finished, you'll seriously level up at grammar. And when we're done, your book is going to be as awesome as you are. And, believe me: that's really awesome. What are you waiting for? Let's go!

Author Biography:

Hey! So you're the kind of person who reads bios, huh? I appreciate that. Well, here's a secret for your pains: I'm not really called Tim Girsby. There was another guy called that who published books about the Loch Ness Monster. This makes it easier.I've been a software developer all my life. I live just outside of London, and I get most of my writing done on the Metropolitan line. I write SF and fantasy; you can read my shorter fiction on Wattpad as theidiotmachine, and subscribe to my newsletter at https: //girsbys-mechanical-idiocies.beehiiv.com/subscribe. You can mail me at theidiotmachine@gmail.com. Yes, there's a theme here.My first novel, Song of a Poisoned Star, will be out 2024.
