Underwriting happens when you don't write enough. Your book is too short. Crucial details are missing. Your prose is bare bones. But what do you do if you've already finished telling your story, and you still need to add length to make it a novel?

Are you an underwriter? What helps you the most when beefing up your manuscripts?
