The Ten Day Edit: A Writer's Guide to Editing a Novel in Ten Days by Lewis Jorstad

5.0

I appreciate the work done in this book; it's obvious that a lot of thought, time, and effort went into writing it. It was understandable and easily one of the best editing guides on the market right now.

One of my favorite parts was that Lewis Jorstad used popular movies as references and examples throughout the book. This addition adds a more relatable and helps the reader/ writer gain a better understanding of the goal. It also helped me learn to love the editing process.

This editing book was very helpful to me, being a first time writer right now, to know the proper, thorough way of editing a novel. I received an ARC online and while I read it, I took notes of the simple processes used to compile and clean up your novel. It helped me weed out my plot holes, develop my characters to their fullest potential, and make my novel better.

I will be sure to buy and use Lewis Jorstad's other two books ("The Ten Day Outline" and "The Ten Day Draft") to write the sequels (if I can get a publisher and original editor for the first one AND it brings in good reviews).

Thank you so much for your detailed editing guide, Mr. Jorstad!
