I think it'll be a huge help in that regard--cleaning up one's writing before an agent or editor looks at it. <br /><br />I guess one potential caveat is that you have to be pretty realistic about your own writing for the advice to actually work--you can't look at your writing through rose-colored glasses and willfully "not see" the problems. Revision is the time to be humble! :)<br /><br />Thanks, Carin, for stopping by to leave a comment.Sarah Stevensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16534942492714970282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890387.post-30255006564400472122012-05-24T10:24:42.612-07:002012-05-24T10:24:42.612-07:00As an editor myself, I have to say this book sound...As an editor myself, I have to say this book sounds like it's got excellent advice for authors. I'll look for it next time I'm at the bookstore to check it out, but your review is very flattering. All books need editing, and the cleaner it is before you get outside help (agent, editor), the more constructive that help can be.Carin Siegfriedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07278383926500248048noreply@blogger.com
