Hello Chicks and Readers of Chicks!
Thank you so much for having me on your blog this week. I’m extremely excited to announce the e-book release of EDIT YOUR BOOK IN A MONTH. The print version will be available in mid-March.
Here is the book blurb:
Have you finished a manuscript? Want to submit your novel to editors or agents, maybe even self-publish? You need to edit first! First impressions are important and the stronger your book is, the better presentation it will make. This book presents tips on editing, most common mistakes made in manuscripts, show vs. tell, plotting, dialogue, story development, inconsistencies, tightening up your sentences, weak words/verbs, overused words, filler words, formatting and so much more! Get your manuscript ready for its grand debut!
And here is the Table of Contents:
1. Why should I edit my book?
2. How to use the Edit Your Book in a Month method
3. Format
4. Filler words, Weak words, Weak Verbs, Favorite overused words
5. Repetitive Writing & Leading the Reader
6. Hooks: Beginning and End
7. GMC / Character Arc
8. Story Development / Plot / Characterization / Setting
9. Inconsistencies
10. Scene Development
11. Point-of-view
12. Using the 5 senses
13. Active vs. Passive
14. Show vs. Tell
15. Dialogue
16. Putting it all together & Extras
(Extras: Writing Lingo; Writer’s Organizations & Resources; Critique Partners/Groups & Readers; Conferences)
I wrote this book based on my workshop entitled the same, as well as using my experience in freelance copy-editing, and critiquing. But also from experience as a published author.
Here is what some people are saying about EDIT YOUR BOOK IN A MONTH:
“Edit Your Book in a Month is loaded with great information and excellent examples. Every writer—both new and old—can benefit from this how-to book. If you’re ready to polish your manuscript in record time, then this is the book for you.” Kimberly Killion, RITA®-nominated and award-winning author.
“Eliza Knight's "Edit Your Book in a Month" method made the difference between my manuscript being passed over in the slush pile and getting requested, and eventually published.” Rebecca Lynn, award-winning author.
“Solid craft assistance from multi-published writer Eliza Knight. Her Edit Your Book in a Month workshops are always filled, yet she encourages class participation and manages to give each participate the individual attention they need. Now with a high demand for her workshop materials, Eliza Knight has done what she does best, put it all in a book! I attended Eliza’s Edit Your Book in a Month workshop. She provided me with a writer’s tool kit that will serve me well throughout my writing. Her clear presentation lays out a plan that is easy to follow. The results? After working with Eliza I submitted my manuscript and got THE call within a month.” Ruth A. Casie, award-winning author.
I have a lot of things lined up this week with Chicks of Characterization. Come back Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to read excerpts of the book! On Friday, I will be giving away copies.
Happy Writing and Editing!

This looks like such a useful book, most of us need help with editing and knowing what to look for and how to sort it is essential I'm coming back each day to read more. Thanks so much for sharing.
