Writers Chat ~ Sharpen Your Self-Editing Skills

Have you eliminated all telling from your writing? Are your characters complex? Is every scene necessary? Most authors answer "yes!" but then editors and readers say the descriptions don’t engage, the characters are stereotypical, and the story dragged. The critics might be right. What's a writer to do? In this episode of Writers Chat, the author of How to Edit Your Novel, Karin Beery, teaches the value of self editing, common mistakes novelists make, and ways to find and fix those mistakes, be they in larger components like story composition or the smaller ones like word choices within sentences.
