Author and editor Leah McNaughton Lederman follows a multi-stage process when editing her own work. As she&#39;s writing, she tracks all of the points she wants to make or themes she wants to extract, and she revisits this lists often during the self-editing stage. This ensures she is addressing everything she intended. <br /><br />After this process, Lederman shares her work with members of her writing group. She highly recommends writers find a group to join or use beta readers for feedback. She provides specific questions about her work to her peers to focus the feedback. Lederman then reviews all of the feedback she receives to determine what revisions need to be made. If it&#39;s something that many have commented on she will revisit it. If it&#39;s something that only one person commented on, she will determine whether or not she agrees with the suggestion. Two additional tools she uses&nbsp;in the process include reverse outlining and sentence wrangling. <br /><br />When it comes to the editing process, Lederman encourages writers to be open to feedback and willing to improve. Otherwise, you will not be producing your best work.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-01-67/AuthorandEditorLeahMcNaughtonLedermanonHerEditingProcess.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../AuthorandEditorLeahMcNaughtonLedermanonHerEditingProcess.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, Subscriber, video</div> https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/editing/basic-editing/w/proofreading/8288/author-and-editor-leah-mcnaughton-lederman-on-her-editing-process/revision/1Fri, 15 Sep 2023 18:02:34 GMT809ccca5-04d2-44bf-8f5c-ff0a6d33c80b:e33bff53-f9d0-4462-8a1a-9966883d0732Leah McNaughton Ledermanhttps://www.authorlearningcenter.com/editing/basic-editing/w/proofreading/8288/author-and-editor-leah-mcnaughton-lederman-on-her-editing-process#commentsRevision 1 posted to Proofreading by Leah McNaughton Lederman on 9/15/2023 6:02:34 PM<br /> <p><br />Even professional editors need multiple sets of eyes on their work to make sure it&#39;s as polished as possible!
