The topic of self-editing can spark confusion so I’ve invited along a professional editor — one I’ve worked with on multiple books — who will show you how to edit a book yourself. And this is exactly where we run into the first misconception about self-editing because it’s not a replacement for proper editing, but one of the stages of the editorial process.

Great article. The fact that writer’s will read what they think they wrote is one of the reasons to get another set of eyes on it. Another good idea is to have the print-to-voice read back to you. I’ve caught many errors that way.
