Does selfediting a book sound intimidating? It's not. While I always work with professional editors on every book I publish, I selfedit my book before sending it to them, and I'm here to tell you it's really not hard. In this video, I'm sharing my personal selfediting checklist and all the unnecessary words I commandF search for and delete in my manuscripts.

Disclaimer: I'm constantly updating this list and adding more things to it, but this is what it looks like as of filming this video in March of 2024.

Do you have things that you edit for that didn't make my list? Comment below and let me know what they are
