I've been polishing Two-Spirit, The Sapphire Amulet, and the best way to do that is to print it off. Now, the novella is about 25,000 words, which is a little over 100 pages, and honestly I don't have the paper or the ink to print it all off and then lose it in the tornado that regularly sweeps my room.
So, I went to Staples, and for $15, I got this nifty book printed off. They bound it in coils, so it's easy to open and close and edit on. It's easy to read from, and I caught mistakes that I didn't when reading it off the computer screen. And when I say reading, I really meaning reading aloud, because that's how you catch mistakes, says my journalism degree.
If you're editing, I definitely recommend you do this. It's so cheap, and so worth it.
It's a small price to ensure as few errors as possible before I sent it to a professional editor.
