I’d love to purchase posters or 8×20’s of each writing tip you’ve published and those to come.
Thank you so much,

I didn’t make this or any of the other infographics (except one), so will not accept credit or money for any of them Lisa.
However, why not print them out on A4 / B4 size paper for your own personal use 😀

Great tips – editing your own work is so difficult to do. I would add ‘Print it out.’ I’ve found that I often pick up errors on the printed page that I’ve missed onscreen, and I’ve also found it helpful for sorting out structure. Not sure if it has something to do with reading the pages from side to side like a book, rather than scrolling down as we do with an onscreen document. Or maybe it’s just me 😀

Adding the different voices and actions (even in your head) is the best way to check the story flow Bunnet 😀

Here is another great post for authors who struggle with editing. In the words of Elmore Leonard, if it sounds like writing, rewrite it.
