If you are writing, I highly recommend going through every Gold Mine Manuscript lesson, even if you don’t think you need it.  I still go back to them to reference.

If you are editing, the “32 Rules for writing” are an awesome list of points to think over, as well as Get Your Manuscript Past the Gatekeeper.

Awww… they are all good. I hope you get as much out of reading these as I had pulling them together.
