Congratulations! You've finished the first draft of your book.

Be sure to take time to celebrate such a significant milestone.

Give yourself a break of at least two weeks before you look at it again. That way you will come back to it with fresh eyes.

Now it's time to dive into the work of self-editing.

Let me insert a note here: You will want to hire a professional editor. We will cover that in this course. But before you hand your manuscript over to a professional editor, you want to do the first round of self edits.

In this course, we will go through the specifics of the self-editing process.
