Book Editing Blueprint: Know What to Revise and in What Order
 Learn to Recognize Problems in Your Manuscript Before Paying for Professional Feedback.
A Repeatable System to Write Stronger Drafts 
Book Editing Blueprint gives you a process for drafting or revising your novel, starting with big-picture story issues before moving into dialogue, description, sentence-level editing, and final checks. 

Choose the Drafting or Editing Track, then follow the steps in each lesson to identify problems and decide what to write or revise next.

Learning to spot and fix more problems yourself can also help your editing budget go further. An editor can then focus on more in-depth feedback rather than explaining basic craft issues.

Two Tracks to Match Where You Are


  • Drafting Track — Still writing your novel?  Use The Draft Your Novel Planner to organize your story, work through important craft decisions, and apply the lessons as you write.

  • Editing Track — Already drafted your novel?  Follow separate editing passes to review your manuscript, record what needs attention, and plan your revisions.


Both tracks include access to the entire course. Choose where to begin, then return to the lessons and tools as your manuscript develops.


This course is for you if you’re...  


  • A fiction or creative nonfiction writer at any stage—from first idea to final draft


  • Struggling to apply craft advice you’ve heard in webinars, books, or summits


  • Concerned about your editing budget and want to recognize more manuscript problems before paying for feedback


  • Looking for specific steps to follow when deciding what to revise and why

Hi, I'm Stacy Juba.

I’m the author of 10 published books, a freelance developmental editor who’s worked on more than 300 manuscripts, and an online course creator. 


As an award-winning journalist, I’ve published over 3,000 articles. I’ve also spoken at more than 35 online writing conferences, led private workshops, and been interviewed on more than 50 podcasts.  


Through my editing work, I’ve met writers whose manuscripts needed substantial rewrites, but whose budgets limited how much professional feedback they could afford. Their stories still needed attention when the money ran out.  


I created Book Editing Blueprint to help writers recognize more problems themselves, understand how to revise them, and reduce the number of paid editing rounds they need.

 What Writers Have Shared
Covers Many Facets of Self-Editing
Roberta Shepherd

“This course by Stacy Juba covers many facets of self-editing for a writer. She discusses a wide variety of topics related to mistakes writers make. In addition, there are videos and exercises to practice the content. I found this helpful for improving my own novel. I recommend this course for beginning writers and those who have some experience but want to take their writing to the next level.”

Doesn't Waste Your Time
Maryclaire Torinus

“After taking the course, I have more confidence in my ability to revise my early drafts. It is a course that doesn’t waste your time, adds value to your writing practice, and shows respect for your pocketbook. Thank you, Stacy.” 

Everything You Need
Lena Johnson

“Stacy lays out everything you need to know about how to self-edit, because we all want to hold a polished novel in our hands. Editing is incredibly intimidating, especially if you’re new at it. Having a guide and a toolkit makes it feel possible.”
