About page edits

Posted on by pacificnovelproject

How serious is editing? Check out the original draft of our About page edits on our Patreon page, Pacific Novel Project.

Whether it’s a couple blurbs on an introduction page or War & Peace, editing is crucial. Find a good editor. Someone who will tell you what you need to hear. Then listen to them.  🙂  Nearly every post will come with the original draft and edits attached. Often the post won’t even  look like the edits because they get drafted three of four times after the original draft. The final version of our About page was the seventh. Maybe even more – I lost track 🙂

Welcome to the Pacific Novel Project. What is the PNP? We’re demonstrating our entire writing and publishing process. From shitty first drafts, critiques, and drafting; to submissions, rejections, and publishing. All in the open, warm embrace of the kind people of the interwebs. You've probably read about these steps, but we put them into action real time. Who are we? I'm Jason. A CHINFO award-winning Navy journalist with 20 years of writing and editing experience. I received a bachelor's in creative writing from Pacific University of Oregon in 2015, with minors in English and history. My short story “It’s Only Rust” can be found in the steampunk anthology Real Girls Don't Rust. That's Steve. He graduated from Pacific University of Oregon in 2016 with a bachelor's in creative writing, and a minor in publishing and editing. His poetry has been published in Dark River Review and the lit mag, The 13th Floor. (He's a sensitive soul.) He's also front man and songwriter for his band, Hurkamur. Our goals? To become self-sufficient writers, to help others become so, and share our love of the literary with a like-minded community. We're still in the process of working up tier benefits. Not working for you? Suggest something that would intrigue you. We aren't afraid to edit or do a complete rewrite. Please join our discussions - patron or not. Comment on posts. Read our hot mess drafts. Know something about our subject? Lay some knowledge on us. Join our book discussions and group writing exercises. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, hope we see you around. Periodically yours, JP and SC
