Thank you for this video. Despite writing for years it is always good to get some more good tips and tricks on editing in all of its guises. I am just about to finish my first draft of a new book project and put it away for a few weeks, so then will come back with fresh eyes and advice given to help edit. Best wishes.
Enjoyed the video but couldn't help being distracted by the fact that all of your book spines are back to front. I found myself trying to read the spines rather than listen. I had to run it twice. Hey! Maybe that was the idea. :) Anyway, thanks for sharing, some great advice. I'm a first-timer. Off to find out how to get MS Word to read my draft.
Wow, that was easier than I thought. Especially as you can highlight each passage and do a paragraph or chapter at a time. Love it. My new editing friend. Thought. Can you change the voice? Off again. :)
Ah, yes, wondered if that might be. Not deliberate. Just because I'm filming alone and using selfie mode with the phone. It makes everything a mirror image. I do have a posh camera but I am still learning the best ways to use it so will get rid of this issue over time :)
@@nicolanovelist Wow! Again with the wow! Just tried the phone selfie video (iPhone 8) and the calendar behind me WAS showing February as back to front but when I played it back, the video was normal so don't know what's going on. Anyway, distraction aside. I enjoyed the video, or have I already said that?

Yes, it's good isn't it? You can change the voice in my version of Word but I guess it depends on the specific installation
