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. This comprehensive editing guide teaches you how to evaluate your manuscript with clarity and objectivity, identify weaknesses that may be holding your story back, and make revisions that deepen reader engagement.

You'll learn:

• 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, POV, 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.
