L. Cooke and I spent this last year writing Secrets to Editing Success: The Creative Story Editing Method That Reliably Produces Best-Selling Novels.
Our hearts and minds went into creating this book together. It’s the first time either of us have co-authored a book, and it was an amazing experience. We ended at over 81,000 words of editing advice.

We’re going to share our publishing journey with you until launch day. Today, we’re sharing our draft cover and draft blurb. And we’re celebrating typing “The End.”
What’s It About?
SECRETS TO EDITING SUCCESS teaches you how to become an exceptional story editor. Whether you’re editing your own story or are an editor wanting your clients to succeed, this book shows you how to make all stories better.
In SECRETS TO EDITING SUCCESS, you will learn how to structurally edit a manuscript, starting by evaluating at the story level and then focusing at the scene level, resulting in actionable advice.
SECRETS TO EDITING SUCCESS shows you the fastest, most comprehensive route to a successful story edit. You’ll discover the Fictionary Story Editing process and use the 38 Fictionary Story Elements.
Give your draft a story edit to outperform the other great books being published today. Use SECRETS TO EDITING SUCCESS to edit any novel into a bestseller.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen a post/email from you. Glad to see you’re still in the thick of all things publishing. Sounds like Fictionary is getting lots of high-end buzz. Congrats.
Cheers,
Jo-Anne

Hi Jo-Anne.
It’s great to hear from you. I’ve been following your newsletter and thrilled to see your success with your novels. I had a blast writing a book this year. It’s been a while since I’ve been so focused on Fictionary.
