Another book that's quite popular in the US (where I live) is SELF-EDITING FOR FICTION WRITERS by Renni Browne and Dave King. I found it invaluable after getting my first draft down and then wondering where to begin fixing it. It was full of common beginner mistakes such as way too many adverbs, inappropriate speaker attributions, and dangling participles that I didn't know were dangling till Renni's book pointed out how very silly some of them were.Maggie Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09397320196343147825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519912440753252776.post-15101326016731133142009-05-10T13:00:00.000+01:002009-05-10T13:00:00.000+01:00Thanks for the review.
