    The Dunning-Kruger Effect: Being ignorant of your own ignorance. In other words... you don't know what you don't know and all of that.

    This book reminds you what to look for. What you don't know to look for. What you did know but in the heady-rush to publish you totally forgot. A checklist book for the organised and for the not so organised. A brilliant assistant. A must have for all authors and would be authors. A reminder.

    ... a checklist!

    K.M. Allan makes it easy to pick and choose and use the various checklists within this book to remind you of all the things you should know, or don't know, or forgot. A bunch of checklists to strengthen your writing & editing and get you ready for publishing. This is a book every writer needs to have in their armoury of research materials. Pop it right next to Save the Cat! Writes a Novel (Jessica Brody) or So You Want to Be a Writer (Allison Tait & Valerie Khoo).

    With an economy of words, K. M. Allan gives authors a set of tools for writing and editing. The checklists are based on the best of what top authors already figured out. Allan offers concise checklists for the story elements that satisfy and then exceed picky audiences’ expectations. You can use the checklists to improve your content, eliminating those nuisances that cause audiences to stop reading or leave negative reviews. Actionable is the one word that best describes this outstanding writing tool set by K. M. Allan.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough Writing Resource After the First Draft
    Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2025
    Format: Paperback
    Writing and Editing Checklists includes a mountain of information, but it's laid out in an easy to follow format. It's for the serious writer, who wants to ensure all elements of their story are considered in great detail. Author K.M. Allan includes more than 50 lists that cover everything from writing basics to easily overlooked details that are easy to miss, even after writing multiple drafts and rereading one's manuscript countless times.

    Allan's book is not the type to read once from cover to cover, but one diligent writer will refer to many times as they strategically review each part of their manuscript to make it the best it can be. I especially appreciated the specific examples the author gave from her own books as she shows us how to improve our own writing.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended checklist style book to perfect your book
    Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2025
    Format: Kindle
    As a creative writing tutor and editor, I can honestly say I will be recommending this book to all of my students and any aspiring writers I make contact with. Personally, my brain likes checklists so this is a great format for me. It covers absolutely everything you can think of with regards to writing and editing and is a great little book to refer back to time and time again. You can jump around the chapters and pay attention to what suits you at the moment in your own writing journey. I think the editing checklists are so valuable too - they will enable writers to ensure their work is as clean as possible before spending money on an editor. This is a fantastic companion book for writers of all stages and genres. Highly recommended!

    This book is awesome and a must-have for all writers. It is chock full of great checklists, including a lot you may never have even thought of.

    For those, like me, who need to have structure and something to follow, checklists are the secret sauce. I have used so many of these already and know I'll be using many more as I move through my writing journey.

    The thought that went into all these checklists was perfect and the companion checklist book, available on the author's website is a wonderful addition to all new and experienced authors.

    These checklists turned out to be exactly what I needed. Writing and publishing involves so many moving parts, and it’s easy to lose track of them all. Having everything laid out in simple lists makes the process far less overwhelming. I’d recommend this book to anyone working toward publication, and even to writers who are already published… There are examples so you couldn’t be confused about what’s in the lists, and you’re not left with terminology and no context, great. My kids have said they will use it for their creative writing assignments too lol.

    For years, K.M. Allan’s writing blogs have been a source of information and inspiration, and publishing her writing craft and editing wisdom in a book format is yet another generous gift to writers at all levels. From the first page, K.M. Allan takes your hand and gently guides you through the editing minefield with an arsenal of comprehensive and easy-to-follow checklists, with in-depth examples from her novels. The Kindle version is brilliant with hyperlinked sections to whisk you to the next checklist. The paperback will have a permanent place next to my laptop when it arrives. If you want to take your writing to the next level, sharpen your prose, and polish your drafts, this book is a must-have for your writing toolbox. Highly recommend.

    Whether you are just beginning as a writer on your first book, your tenth, or finishing your 20th, 'Writing and Editing Checklists' by K.M. Allan is a must have that can help you on every book along your writing journey. I feel as a novice it will help you understand everything that goes in to crafting a book, and for experienced writers a helpful tool to keep you on track and focused on key stages of your current project. Its meaty, but simple to skim to get to the parts you need on a given day. Strongly recommended for all writers.
