Very helpful.
My first impression of your ‘how-to’ is that it’s applicable to more high-end writing. No, I don’t have a definition for ‘high-end’ but I guess I mean longer, more thoughtfully-crafted works as opposed to anything within my abilities. That said, even my 2k-5k wordcount efforts could be better, feel more “real”, more authentic, flow better and on and on.
Feel free to toot your own horn (if you choose to answer this at all): would you say the level of editing in your ‘how-to’ is common?
It's definitely more story-focussed, less technical, than a lot of the editing I've done on stories here. That particular example is with two authors who already have a lot of stories under their belt, and I knew they were going to work on it a bit more after I'd looked at it, so I wasn't looking too much for minor technical stuff (excepting a few things I flagged because they might not get caught later).
