“Very helpful pointers on writing & editing better, especially for people who may not have gone to school for writing but take their writing seriously. May seem on the basic side for more experienced writers.”

“This is THE book for fiction writers, just not for young readers. Some of the language is rough but the authors know their stuff.”

“Of all the books on writing, this is the best one! Tons of great advice for anyone trying to writing their first novel. Very easy to follow and shows common mistakes and corrections. As with all books on writing, you have to remember that these are just guidelines and some "rules" are okay to break.”

Before I took this book in my hands I had no idea what kind of (stupid) mistakes I made while writing. I always naturally presumed the most horrendous ones were grammar mistakes and typos, but this book sheds life on mistakes us part-time writers think are minor ones, but seriously compromise the style and story-telling.
A must for everyone who even remotely considers putting their writing out there in the big wide world. ”
“The material in Self-Editing For Fiction Writers is easy to understand and well-organized. Authors Browne and King do a wonderful job of breaking the material into bite-sized pieces, so that information can be covered in a reasonable amount of time.

“This is my second time through this book. The authors recommend that writers read it every year, and I second that motion. The tabs I marked pages with were still there from the time I self-edited my previous novel, but I found many more areas to work on this time around. We grow as writers, and this book is an indispensible tool for our growth.”
