As an author, you are expected to present publishers with a polished, professional-level manuscript every time. Your manuscript has to not only fulfil industry-standard technical criteria – such as word count and formatting – but also demonstrate originality and express your unique voice and style as a writer.

This means ensuring your book manuscript is free from grammatical errors, plot holes, character inconsistencies and detail omissions. It means avoiding predictability from beginning to end and making every word count. It means using cliches, slang and other literary devices effectively, not excessively, to establish your personal style.

In publishing, this process is called book development. It’s complex, it’s challenging, and it’s just as important as writing the draft manuscript. But in this book development and editing package, we’ll guide you through every step.

If you want to understand the common writing mistakes to avoid and learn how successful authors develop their books with style and originality, this package is for you.
