You've finished the first draft...now what?

Revising your manuscript is where you start to polish your story and turn it into something publish-worthy.

In this episode we talk about what you'll need to do before you hire a professional; from analysing your story arc and spotting plot holes, to deciding which scenes you need to cut or expand.

If you have any questions about how to polish your first draft then send me a message karen@mabelandstanleypublishing.com or why not join my membership community? It's a great place to gain support, motivation and inspiration from fellow writers.
