Meet the Author, Bucket Siler
The Complete Guide to Self-Editing for Fiction Writers is the accumulation of my years of knowledge as a writer and freelance editor. While it would be impossible for me to cram all my know-how about fiction writing and the editing process into a single book, at a whopping 403 pages I certainly did my best.
Want official creds? In addition to my many years of experience as a developmental editor, I hold an MFA from the Rainier Writing Workshop and have been a Vermont Studio Center fellow and the recipient of a Fulcrum Fund Award. My creative writing has appeared in The Offing, Atticus Review, Bracken, and Storm Cellar, and others. My editing client list includes award-winning and bestselling authors.
What readers are saying:
"This book is changing my life and transforming my manuscript. There's elements of narrative structure I've never understood like I do now."
"It’s an incredibly thorough reference book on developmental editing, chalk full of examples and told in the same easy manner as her blog."
"I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to up their writing game and has never learned to edit."
