AL Kepple's Reviews > The Artful Edit: On the Practice of Editing Yourself

The Artful Edit is a book aimed at writers, specifically the editing part of the writing process.

I'm still rather new to the writing process, while I have a comfort zone for churning out a first draft the process of editing has been a mystery process, a process I had no confidence in. After reading this book I now know each author has to come up with their own way of doing the editing process, the process that works for them.

I also feel more confident after reading the chapters on macro and micro editing, a list of things to look for when I'm editing, and the end of chapter bullet points to refer back to as I go through the editing process.

This book is an easy read, thought provoking with examples that are easy to understand. I recommend this book to anyone looking for more insight into the editing process.
