Finishing the first draft of your novel is a huge feat - but then comes the hard part: revising. As a developmental book editor, I often work with writers on their early drafts of their manuscripts. In this video, I reveal the most common first draft mistakes that I see in almost every novel I edit. Checking your manuscript against these three issues will help you strengthen your story on the next draft!
