The best book on self-editing?
I'm looking for a book to help me to re-write/edit my stories and novels. Can anyone recommend one? It will be helpful if they have exercises. I need some help with editting and none of my writing books or the course I did gives you help in this area

Revision & Self-Editing by James Scott Bell - I won this book, can't remember how, but I found it an enjoyable and informative read.
Good luck with your re-write/edit.
Good luck on your book, Jen.

I've just been reading from the Look Inside facility of the one BB suggested: Revision & Self-Editing by James Scott Bell and it sounds so promising I'm going to buy it!
p.s. the Della Galton one sounds like it would more suitable for novice writers who specifically want to break into the Womag market.
