## Resource

Before you send it to the editor, before you let another person set eyes on the manuscript, you need to edit. There are plot holes to look out for, character voice inconsistencies, and all those pesky punctuation marks. How do you catch it all? What are some strategies to help get you from the rough draft to something presentable, let alone publishable? The DRS Crew discusses. DRS caffeinates with Larry's Coffee .
