Don’t fall down on the easy stuff. If you’re writing a novel and sending your manuscript to a publisher, it has to be in perfect shape. Make sure that you can tick every box before you consider your novel completely finished. Technical Have you run a spell check on your entire manuscript? (If you have problems with the passive voice, run a grammar check too.) Have you made sure that character names and place names are consistent throughout? Is the chronology correct? Language Is the language in your novel clear and understandable? Did you make sure that the text isn’t overly complex, verbose, patronising or obscure? If more than one comma is in a sentence, should it be two sentences? If you use more than one adverb and adjective in any sentence, are you sure you need them? In fact, is every one of them necessary?
