Suggestions will be offered for such things as voice, sentence structure, dialogue, character likability, increasing or slowing the pace as needed, trading up words or phrases, paying careful attention to repetitive and redundant words and phrases, and more, aiming for the goal of making the reader want to turn the page for “just one more chapter.”
