I've spent a chunk of the seasonal break revising the latest novel in
progress. I did some fairly major surgery based on a couple of very
useful readers' reports, removing 11,500 words, adding 5,500 and revising another chunk. The edits have certainly improved the story
and I think it's in a pretty reasonable form. I guess the next step is
to start hawking it around. I know exactly what I'm doing at this stage for non-fiction work, but how the fiction side of publishing works is still a bit of mystery to me. Wish me luck - I have a feeling that's a vital part of it!
