So I finished my first novel (well more like a novella). It's around 100 pages long, so it's not the longest read. However, now I'm at the point of finishing the first draft, and needing to edit.
I'm curious what people who don't have the money to pay a professional editor do. I have a wife who is better at grammar than I am to help me, though, I don't want to constantly bug her. I use Ginger to help find my little mistakes I missed, as well as I'm brushing up on my grammar to figure out what I've forgotten. I also use Autocrit.com to help sort, and easily find my small writing mistakes.
I'm just wondering if there are any other suggestions people have for editing your novel on the cheap. Thanks for any help!
