Completing your first draft is not your cue to run out to the world and declare yourself an author. First drafts are notoriously crappy (especially if you didn't do any sort of planning before you wrote it), so you'll need to go through your work at least a second time to make sure you're putting out quality work before you announce its presence.


In this section, we'll be discussing:

 - Pre-editing tasks

- The developmental edit

- How to write a synopsis

- The rewrite

- Beta-readers & you

- How to polish your prose

- How to come up with a title

- How to write your blurb

- How to hire/get an editor

- How to choose the best method to publish


Let's get on with it, shall we?
