Editing workflow

[DangarStu]

Hi all

 

I'm getting to the pointy end of a novel that I have written using Storyist and I'm interested in hearing a bit about other people's workflows from this point onwards. By workflow I don't mean the functionality in Storyist, just the general way you work.

 

I'm thinking at this stage (getting close to a final draft) I am going to export to Word as, although it isn't to be trusted, the grammar checker has drawn my attention to mistakes I had previously missed, and I now need to send a copy to a professional editor anyway. When their changes come back I would like to integrate them back into Storyist to keep that as the canonical copy, but if that isn't possible I may need to pass the baton and start considering the Word copy as canonical. This would of course mean generating the eBook version from the Word document which is a bit of a bummer, but more distribution companies seem to have utilities to do this.

 

Anyway, curious to hear how you guys work,

Stuart
