SUMMARY:Write • Revise • Repeat: A Self-Editing Toolkit at EFACON 2026
DESCRIPTION:Even experienced editors struggle to edit their own work. Our expertise does not eliminate our brain’s tendency to “autocorrect” errors or eliminate cognitive bias when we are too close to the prose. This session takes a look at why it’s difficult to edit your own work and offers practical strategies for editing your manuscript with greater clarity and objectivity. \nWe’ll begin with “big-picture” developmental editing techniques—such as reverse outlining and building a “book bible.” Next\, we’ll discuss how to copy/line edit your manuscript using multiple\, focused passes. \nThe use of AI tools as a diagnostic tool to train yourself to identify personal stylistic habits\, patterns\, and crutches while revising will also be discussed. \nUse the link https://bit.ly/4kGhUFZ to register and the code TEN2026 for 10% off.
