What to do if your novel is too long (self-editing tips for authors)

Apologies for this rough video; but it did help me get some clarity on my fantasy novel so I'm sharing it in the hopes it helps you as well. I have big plans to start making higher quality videos, soonish, eventually... but honestly I squeeze these out while procrastinating from my creative work and I feel like I've said everything before - I would love to hear your comments about what you need from me and I'm thinking of doing a summer 'writing camp' kind of thing, if you're into that... let me know! I don't really know how posts work on youtube but I tried to set up a short poll here, I'll share in the GP facebook group soon too:    • Post   Book Marketing is Dead (free download): https://www.subscribepage.com/surviva... Indie Author Basics: Free Survival Guide: https://creativindie.clickfunnels.com... ⚡☕⚡✍☕✍⚡☕⚡ Hey there - I'm Derek Murphy. I'm a fine artist who became a book cover designer, then started writing young adult scifi and fantasy. I've spent almost 20 years living abroad, have a PhD in comparative literature (revolutionary politics in Paradise Lost), and have been featured in CNN for renting castles to use as writing retreats. Although I'm not working with clients anymore, I've built a ton of resources to help indie authors write, design and publish bestselling books. On this channel, I talk about writing, publishing and creating personal freedom with unconventional business strategies and providing value. My videos are unpolished and a little raw, because we travel full-time and I focus on content, not production quality. If you're a writer, artist, or entrepreneur, make sure you SUBSCRIBE - then let me know what you need help with, and I'll make a video just for you!
