Enter to win a professional editing session for your book or manuscript! [Ended]
Last week we published a guest article from Immanuela Meijer, an editor and the Paolini family’s assistant, who offered invaluable advice on editing the first draft of your manuscript. The essay is a must-read for anyone now facing the daunting task of working with the first draft of their book!
Immanuela’s editorial was a fitting end to our month-long event aiming to help our community of aspiring authors successfully participate in NaNoWriMo, the annual challenge to pen a 30,000 word novel throughout November. In addition to our editing advice article, other posts included:
- Christopher Paolini’s advice on plotting your story and worldbuilding
- These writing tips and tricks from Christopher Paolini will help you grow as an author!
- Young authors share how inspiration from Christopher helped them succeed with writing
- How to edit your book or manuscript
Now, as a culmination to our month-long writing advice adventure, we’ve partnered with Immanuela and Talewind Editing to give away one of her “two page preview” edits, which she describes on her website:
Many patterns are clear within the first paragraphs of a book. The preview [edit] allows you to receive feedback that you can apply to the rest of the project before submitting the completed manuscript. It’s also a great way to see if Talewind Editing is a good match—like any good relationship, both parties should feel at ease working with one another.
A winner has been chosen! Congratulations to Elyse P.!
Bummed you didn’t win? Never fear – Immanuela offers her preview edit for a very reasonable price! Head on over to Talewind Editing to learn more and get in touch to begin your editing adventure!
