Rainbow Editing
by Dawn Smit
A colorful new weapon in the war
against sloppy writing and the eternal editing cycle
|
Whether for the fourth draft, fourteenth draft, or fortieth draft, Rainbow Editing teaches writers how to use the computer to find the unintentional patterns that bog down even the best writing. Using the writer's best friend--the computer--and a slew of colors, writers will learn how to highlight patterns so that they practically jump off the page.

Topics include:
Uncover the natural habitats of "to be" verbs.
Seek out and eliminate the adverbs, adjectives, and other grammatical forms that slip under the editorial radar.
Easily see how many times characters repeat certain actions (smile, grimace, scratch their noses, etc.). Is it overkill?
Discover personal "favorite phrases" that show up with shocking regularity in writing.
