- Are all of your characters vital to your story?
- Does your story make sense (no matter how fantastic the setting)?
- Is spelling, grammar, page and paragraph lengths all they should be?
- Is there enough action in the story?
- Is the ending appropriate for the story? Doesn't have to be a happy ending.
- Have you tied up all loose ends, that all the issues which need to be resolved in the story are resolved?
- Are you consistent with names of characters, places etc?
Happy editing!
