Creative Story Editing: Introducing Fictionary’s Developmental Self-Editing Framework
Millions of amazing stories never make it through the editing phase, languishing forever in drawers, unfinished and unshared. Others make it onto Amazon only to end up with disappointing sales and one-star reviews.
This is often because the author was never taught the essential art of creative story editing.
What Is Creative Story Editing?
Creative story editing mixes literary artistry with craft knowledge to make your story more impactful. It’s the process of objectively evaluating your draft using techniques that successful authors have used for thousands of years.
