Effective editing. In Intuitive Editing , veteran editor Tiffany Yates Martin reveals the professional editing techniques that help writers transform rough drafts into compelling, polished stories. Drawing on decades of experience working with bestselling and emerging authors, Martin demystifies the revision process and provides a practical framework for strengthening every aspect of fiction writing. Whether you're writing a novel, short story, memoir, or narrative nonfiction, this comprehensive editing guide teaches you how to evaluate your manuscript with clarity, identify weaknesses that may be holding your story back, and make revisions that deepen reader engagement. Inside you'll learn: How to develop your “editor brain” and approach revision with objectivity How to diagnose common story problems, and practical, actionable techniques for fixing them at the root, not the surface Tools for strengthening character, plot, story structure, and pacing How to identify and fix weak scenes, flat tension, or unclear stakes How to master suspense and tension, point of view, and voice How to recognize and eliminate common writing pitfalls and weak prose How to climb “Revision Mountain” without overwhelm—step by step Unlike rigid rule-based writing manuals, Intuitive Editing helps writers develop the editorial instincts used by professional editors and successful authors. Martin shows not only what to fix, but why it matters and how those changes improve the reader's experience. Praised by bestselling authors and industry pros, Intuitive Editing is an essential resource for anyone serious about mastering revision and producing stronger, more engaging stories, perfect for aspiring authors, self-published writers, creative writing students, book coaches, editors, and experienced novelists seeking to elevate their craft.

Review: I Wish I'd Read This Before I Started Writing! - Like so many people, I have a dream of someday writing the great American novel. I've been working on mine for several years, during which time, I've taken tons of classes, participated in writing critique groups, and read lots of books on craft. In December, I finally finished my first draft and prepared to start the editing process. To do so, I went out and bought a couple of highly rated books on the topic (of course!). But, it was slow and tedious work and I just always felt like I wasn't sure I was doing it right or focusing on the right things. Some of the editing books were short (maybe too short) and sweet and got right to the point, but they felt a bit lightweight and I couldn't get over the feeling that I was missing something. Some were longer and more detailed, but they were too dense, too lofty, too "literary" (and not in a good way). I could barely force myself to read them and wasn't sure I was getting the full picture when I did. Then someone recommended this book and THANK GOD! This is the best book on editing I've read so far. It feels thorough. It gives me a concrete plan of attack for my work. Gives me good questions to ask to help me identify weak points. The examples are excellent and really illustrate the points and I love that the author uses books, movies and popular tv shows. Using a broad array of media in the examples ensures that usually I will be familiar with at least one of them, so I have a better sense of the point she's trying to make. Also, this is meaty, but it's an easy read. I can zip right through it and the points stick with me, instead of laboring over a chapter and then trying to remember what I read. I don't know if it's the best editing book out there because obviously, I can't read them all. But it's definitely the best I've come across so far and like a lot of writers, I tend to hoard books, particularly books on craft, so I do have more than my fair share. So, the bad news is after reading this I realize how much work I have to do to whip my draft into shape. But the good news is that I know exactly where it needs that work and how to fix it. I love this book so much that I honestly wish I'd read it before I started writing. If I had, I think I'd have written a much stronger first draft to begin with. But luckily, it's not too late, Review: Valuable information for all authors - Intuitive Editing has a unique perspective on the writing process through studying the editing process. I really enjoy Tiffany Yates Martin's online classes through Jane Friedman's website, so I purchased the book to compliment the classes. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #204,597 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #24 in Book Publishing Industry #45 in Editing Writing Reference (Books) #156 in Authorship Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 456 Reviews | ## Images ![Intuitive Editing: A Creative and Practical Guide to Revising Your Writing - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61DCmc6dMRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I Wish I'd Read This Before I Started Writing! *by S***N on May 19, 2020* Like so many people, I have a dream of someday writing the great American novel.

I really enjoy Tiffany Yates Martin's online classes through Jane Friedman's website, so I purchased the book to compliment the classes. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stays by my computer. *by D***D on June 16, 2022* If ten stars was a rating, I would give this book 11. Not only is Tiffany Yates Martin my dream editor, she also proves in this book her genuine desire for authors to write their best and succeed. The image in this post is not the usual digital image I use for other reviews. The image is of my personal, beat up, worn, and often used copy of her book. I recommend this to all of my coaching clients and use this guide as well to keep me on track with editing. I would read THIS book before reading Stephen King's "On Writing". As an audio type learner, I did listen to this book in its entirety (at 2x speed, because ADHD) on Audible and made notes in the physical book as I went along. Martin narrates the audio version and the quality is of the highest caliber, as she is a former actor. Her formal training shines. The audible was like hanging out with her for ten hours while also learning every secret to editing yourself she could possibly think of. There are no tips and tricks left to reveal. If you want a methodical system to make sense of editing that won't fizzle out 2/3 into your book, Intuitive Editing is definitely something you will benefit from. While (as of writing this review) she has limited availability for new clients, I know from experience her newsletter is just as helpful and encouraging. Buy the book.
