You can finish editing your next draft in just a few weeks.

That’s right. You can finish it in three months—or less!

The trick, of course, is to find the editing process that works for you. The process that keeps you focused, motivated, and inspired so you can make the right changes to your book every day.

And in this episode, I’ll share three strategies I recommend to help you do just that.

You’ll learn:

  • How to set a deadline that keeps you on track—and ensures you actually finish!
  • When to hire an editor—and why hiring an editor after your first draft can shave years off your editing process.
  • Why shaking things up and editing in a different location than your writing space can give you an editing boost.

Plus, get a free worksheet to guide you through setting your deadline for your next draft. Go to alicesudlow.com/deadline to get your worksheet.
