December is here and all of the intrepid writers who participated in NaNoWriMo may be breathing sighs of relief and under the (mistaken) impression that they can take a well-deserved break.

Well, no.

Hopefully you’ve been so inspired by the exercise that you’re continuing on a dedicated schedule of writing. For those who truly need a break from writing, however, perhaps now is the time to consider editing and revising what you have already written.

Here are just a few books in our collection that can guide you through the murky waters of trying to self-edit your writing:

	Revision & self-editing : techniques for transforming your first draft into a finished novel by James Scott Bell
	Self-editing for fiction writers: how to edit yourself into print by Renni Browne
	Manuscript makeover: revision techniques no fiction writer can afford to ignore by Elizabeth Lyon
If you found online support during your NaNoWriMo journey helpful, you may be interested in joining an online writing group to get feedback on your writing. Here are two popular sites: Scribophile Writing.com
