He uses his experience with writing scientific papers as he collaborates with people who edit his work. Writing nonfiction scientific papers like that has given him a helpful mindset toward editing. It&rsquo;s forced him to reframe his understanding of editing so that it&rsquo;s not a personal attack but rather a necessary part of improvement. Doweyko doesn&rsquo;t believe self-editing is enough. He talks about the science of communication and how the mind looks at its own work. It&rsquo;s likely that a mind will skip over different types of mistakes, simply because it created the work. In explaining this idea, he talks through common mistakes authors make while self-editing and gives a few techniques to mitigate that. Ultimately, though, he recommends that authors find other people to edit their work, including critique groups and professional editors.
