Self-Editing for Fiction Writers
How to Edit Yourself Into Print
About the book
Written by two professional editors, Renni Browne and Dave King, the guide shows fiction writers how to apply the techniques of the editing trade to their own manuscripts, with chapters on dialogue, point of view, exposition and interior monologue. Many examples come from books the pair have edited, and a second edition revised the text.
It appears in writer Alina Varlanuta's interview on her favourite books and reading habits.

Alina Varlanuta (Creator/The Hole in Your Head)
My professional path – copywriting – somehow intertwines with my unprofessional (hahaha) path – writing so I would recommend reading literature for both. Somehow reading and writing are two ways of doing the same thing: storytelling (even when you read you tell yourself a story in your own voice, bringing your personal emotion and empathy to the story you’re reading). The only difference is that when I’m reading, panic is far away from me, in a safe place. Nevertheless, the words below helped me rewrite and think twice before adding an exclamation point: Self-editing for Fiction Writers.
