So, about that leaked Buffy reboot script…

The one that the Usual Suspects are saying was so terrible they were clearly right to cancel it.

I haven’t read it. I probably won’t. So I can’t comment on its quality. In any case, scripts are meant to be performed and viewed, not read.

But some people are now claiming that the supposed leaked script was actually an earlier draft, not the final script- evidence for this includes the main new Slayer character’s name being different.

In which case, it’s being judged on an unfinished product.

And in case anyone wants to go “Well you could still tell that the final product would also be bad”… this is where I bring up how Aragorn in The Lord of The Rings was originally a hobbit named Trotter because of his wooden feet.

Point being, you simply CANNOT judge a final product on an early script draft. Weird shit happens in the editing process.

Canva’s new editing tool adds layers to AI-generated designs

Canva introduced a new feature that separates flat image files and AI-generated visuals into layered, fully editable designs. The Magic Layers tool is launching in public beta today in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia, allowing design components like objects, text boxes, and other graphics to be selected individually while preserving the original layout.

You’ve written a book, now what?

Editing!

When you have finished writing your book you will have what is known as the first draft - this is the make it exist stage of the process. To make it really shine and sparkle, there’s several steps to go through.

The first step is to rest. Give yourself the rest of the day to relax and do other tasks, and get a good night’s rest. This will help you to disengage writing mode and shift into editing mode.

The second step is to look at your manuscript and read it. Thoroughly. Twice (at least). You can make notes as you go, but don’t be consumed by making them. You are probably already incredibly familiar with your story at this point, but this gives you a chance to learn about your narrative voice and what works for you.

The third step is to act on your notes, make the changes you noticed in the first few reads.

Step four is to repeat the first three steps. Until you’re happy with it.

You can request an editor’s help at any point of your process for any specific help.

Manuscript evaluation (including partial) is reading for readability, engagement, and flow.

Developmental editing is searching for plot points and how they line up. This is the big picture edit.

Line editing is looking at the details such as sentence structure and flow, the rhythm of paragraphs, and the beats of dialogue.

Proofreading is where the tiny details are usually spotted - spelling errors, missing apostrophes, a semicolon is better than a colon here, etc.

Many books that you see published go through many drafts, many edits, sometimes even whole revisions. Don’t be scared to change anything!

Editors give suggestions on changes to make, it is down to the author to act upon those suggestions. Remember, this is your book.

Does it count as editing if I printed it out to cross out with a red pen but actually ended up re-writing it and now it’s doubled in length

just posted my first edit after my editing hiatus why is it lowkey bunz.

Ok, thinking about doing a little freelance editing work, so if you need a beta reader/copywriting for anything around or under 5k, hit me up! Free right now, so long as you’re willing to offer a review and maybe let me use a line or two as editing samples for a portfolio. (All fully credited to you, of course.) Fanfiction or original work, doesn’t matter! I’ve been writing fiction for around 16 years and I’m happy to work with you and your needs! Feel free to DM me!

The Hidden Errors Nonfiction Manuscript Proofreading Reveals After Multiple Revisions

I’ve revised my manuscript several times and fixed the obvious mistakes. Do I really need a proofreader?

The truth is, even polished drafts often contain small grammar, spelling, punctuation, and consistency errors that writers easily overlook. These hidden mistakes can slip past multiple revisions, which is why nonfiction manuscript proofreading often catches issues authors never noticed. Here…
