Editing Checklist

(I’m in the middle of line editing Keeper of Keys, and I thought I’d share this tool from my toolbox. )

Interested writers: Below is my line editing checklist in Excel, which you can download and customize for yourself. For weasel words, I do an advanced search of the manuscript for each word, select all instances of its use, and click the highlight icon. From there, search and destroy. ✂️
