Earlier this month, I finished developmental edits on The Dressmaker Book. This is the stage where I find myself really ripping the book apart and putting it back together again until it is fairly close to the story that you see when you pick up a book in a bookshop.
Thank you for sharing your process and those links! I'm writing a historical fiction spanning from 1927 - 1948 set it the US and Czechoslovakia and in the next draft is when I'll dig deeper into the research and fact checking. As always, looking forward to reading your newest release when it comes out!
Such a fun read! That happens to me all the time. I’ll write a piece of research into my draft and then I can’t track it down during the factchecking stage. I try to put in bookmarks now but it’s hard to keep track. I wish I was an excel person that kept some detailed spreadsheet but my creative brain is just not that data driven!!

I'll let you know if I come up with anything decent for factchecking with these next books!
