 We frequently see writers on social media and other forums ask, "I've finished my novel. Now what do I do?" In Episode 20, Barbara Hinske and J. W. Judge discuss how they approach editing and editing and editing again the drafts of their completed manuscripts. We even give you takeaway spoilers: while there is no one-size-fits-all approach for what to do after you finish the first draft of your novel, you have to find what works for you, implement and hone it with consistency, and don't be afraid to evolve.
