Unlock the Hidden Power of Your First Draft: What Every Writer Must Know Next
Finishing the first draft of your novel is a major accomplishment. It’s not the end of the road, but it’s a milestone. Celebrate.
So now what? Your book’s not ready to publish. It still needs work. How do you get the novel across the finish line?
You might think that the answer depends on how you plan to get the book published. There are two usual approaches to publication:
- Sell the book to a publisher.
- Act as your own publisher.
Your current game plan doesn’t depend on which of these roads you plan to take. Your book almost certainly isn’t ready to start shopping around to a publisher (or to an agent). And it almost certainly isn’t ready to publish independently. A first draft is never ready. A first draft always requires revisions.
