Finished your draft? Congrats! Now the real work begins.

In this editing crash course, Rachel breaks down the different types of editing—manuscript evaluations, developmental edits, line edits, copy edits, proofreading—and when you actually need each one. Because if you're trying to fix plot holes AND comma splices at the same time, you're going to lose your mind.

We're covering the ideal editing order, what to do yourself before hiring an editor, how much polish you need before querying agents, and why trying to do everything at once is a recipe for 2am spirals.

Whether you're self-publishing or going traditional, this episode will save you time, money, and your sanity.
