While I wouldn't suggest doing away with professional editing, this little guide will allow you to make sure that your manuscripts are much more polished before you send them off. I really like the idea of coloring different sections according to the various factors that you want to watch out for, so that you can see if you achieve a balance in your writing. For instance, do you start sentences with the characters names too often?This book gives you a checklist of common errors such as this one, and tells you how to deal with them. In addition it reminds you of other bad habits, and is a useful "Toolbox" for any aspiring author.
