One of the biggest mistakes a beginner makes is thinking he's finished when he types "The End." Someone once said, writing is rewriting. It's true. Cutting unnecessary information, rearranging sentences and moving paragraphs, searching for just the right word for the biggest impact, and so much more is necessary if your goal is to become a good writer.I've done more than my share of editing through the years, and there are common mistakes most beginners make. My hope in writing this book is to help the new writer recognize and fix these errors, to teach the importance of getting things right, and to understand what is acceptable in traditional publishing. Lastly, I hope to help give them greater success whatever writing path they choose.Read on and write right.
