Editing Isn’t Punishment. It’s Power.
You don’t need to be perfect to finish a book.
You do need to know how to make it better.
The Ten Dimensions of Self-Editing is a practical, encouraging guide for writers who want to revise their own work with clarity, confidence, and intention—without crushing their voice or spiraling into editorial despair.
This is not a grammar-scolding manual. It’s not a rigid rulebook. And it’s definitely not a “fix your novel in a weekend” fantasy. Instead, it shows you how editing actually works—layer by layer—so you can make thoughtful decisions, focus on the right problems at the right time, and stop mistaking busywork for progress.
Inside, you’ll learn how to understand the true nature of editing, recognize different kinds of issues as they arise, and apply tools and techniques that support clarity, structure, voice, and flow. You’ll discover why your brain hides your own mistakes from you—and how to work around that—so you can see your manuscript more honestly and revise it more effectively.
This book also addresses the realities of modern writing, including the thoughtful use of tools—both traditional and digital—without letting them override your judgment or your creative authority.
The Ten Dimensions of Self-Editing is for writers who want to finish their work with care, intention, and self-respect.
Because editing isn’t about fixing a bad book.
It’s about revealing the good one hiding inside the draft.
