#lineediting

Even though I write more nonfiction than fiction these days, the principle still applies. King even mentions essays here, which is a form of nonfiction writing. This once again reminds me of the necessity for ruthlessness in writing. Anything that detracts from the point is unnecessary, anything that doesn’t further develop the point is unnecessary. King is an advocate of short story writing and calls upon authors not just to gun for a novel, but to consider the shorter formats, too. They force you to be economical with words, using only those which will make a strong lasting impression.

Sara Lubratt edits her novel using two maxims from Stephen King: elimination of adverbs and the passive voice. As a keen stylist, King promotes these two ingredients as methods of producing tighter prose. Many writers will find, however, that some adverbs and use of the passive voice is justified. So we have a line between rules and creativity. Nonetheless, a reminder to cut back on excess adverbs and use of the passive will help all writers. 

Are you in need of line edits? I’m currently booking summer appointments for all types of editing services. With line edits I will do three rounds of editing looking for grammar, punctuation and spelling as well as issues with the storyline or inconsistencies. Then I’ll do a 4th round which will consist of proofreading. So you receive the most polished final copy possible. Message me if I can help! #bookeditor #lineedits #lineediting #proofreading #edits #proseeditor
