Hundreds of books have been written on the art of writing. Here at
last is a book by two professional editors to teach writers the
techniques of the editing trade that turn promising manuscripts
into published novels and short stories. Renni Browne and Dave King
are two of the country's best-known independent editors. In their
years as president and senior editor of The Editorial Department,
they have edited the work of many writers - including bestselling
authors - before the manuscripts went out to agents or publishers.
Over half the manuscripts worked on to completion eventually got
published, and over half that number were first novels. In this
book Browne and King teach you, the writer, how to apply the
editing techniques they have developed to your own manuscript, in
order to bring your manuscript to its fullest potential. Chapters
on dialogue, exposition, interior monologue and other techniques
take you through the same processes an expert fiction editor would
go through to perfect your manuscript. Each point is illustrated
with examples, many drawn from the hundreds of books Browne and
King have edited. Every chapter contains hands-on exercises to help
you apply these techniques to your own work. And illustrations by
New Yorker cartoonist George Booth keep everything in perspective.
