One of the biggest writing mistakes she sees is that authors tell instead of show. To fix this error, use the characters&#39; actions or facial expressions to show that they are excited or angry, instead of just stating the fact. Another mistake is when a book is missing a hook. The topic, writing, or characters need a way to stand out from the competition. Not finding your voice or the voice of your characters is another writing mistake. And of course, as an editor she sees a lot of grammar mistakes.</div> <div class="asl-wikipage-media"><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver.wikis.components.files/00-00-00-01-67/EditingAManuscriptTheMostCommonMistakes.mp3">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../EditingAManuscriptTheMostCommonMistakes.mp3</a></div> </div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, podcast</div> https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/editing/basic-editing/w/proofreading/2157/editing-a-manuscript---the-most-common-mistakes---podcast/revision/1Wed, 14 Dec 2016 00:00:00 GMT809ccca5-04d2-44bf-8f5c-ff0a6d33c80b:57a1464a-14b2-4c93-ab27-24c43c4bd077Erin Brownhttps://www.authorlearningcenter.com/editing/basic-editing/w/proofreading/2157/editing-a-manuscript---the-most-common-mistakes---podcast#commentsRevision 1 posted to Proofreading by Erin Brown on 12/14/2016 12:00:00 AM<br /> <div class='asl-wikipage-body'><div class='asl-wikipage-summary'>Freelance editor Erin Brown shares the most common novel writing mistakes she sees in the manuscripts she has edited over the years and provides tips on how you can avoid them.
