Thanks Raphael, I'm glad you enjoyed the list. I have more useful articles coming soon, but in the meantime I can answer that question for you. There's no hard and fast rule as to how to improve as we all work differently. Some people join online writers groups in social media or in forums and swap and critique work for free. I've never done this myself, as writing is so subjective. What one person might love, another could hate. The same goes for giving your work to family members, although again, I've seen it work well for many authors I know. Their partner critiques the work and hands it back to be edited. For me, family members have to be nice, and may not want to hurt your feelings if they read a passage they don't like. I recommend using freelance editors who have experience in the field. Many don't, so tread carefully here. The problem is that this can be costly. You can find freelancers who will critique one chapter which can help. When I started out, I just read so many books. I rested my manuscript and came back to it with fresh eyes. This is how I improved. By reading lots, you can compare your work with the author that you aspire to be. I hope this helps. If you'd like a free author guide, there's one on my site www.caroline-mitchell.com and I'll be running some writing courses on there soon too, which will be heavily discounted to subscribers. Happy writing!
