Use the best practices followed by professional editors
rather than paying someone else to edit your work.
- edit without hating it, without judgment
- learn self-editing techniques to create the best story possible
- save time and money – and produce a quality manuscript
- become more attractive to publishers and readers
This hour & a half class will present an overview of the different types of editing and provide practical exercises and guides professional editors follow.
Wed., Jan. 15 7PM ET Cost is $39 ($49 after 1/1/25) (No refunds.)
Whether you’re . . .
- a plotter whose writing has become mechanical with stunted characters
- a pantser whose writing has potholes as they follow one idea, then another
- a plantser, whose meandering plot lines sometimes result in a middle muddle
You’re in the right place!
Dorothy Parker wrote, “I hate writing; I love having written.”
Maybe you love writing, but hate editing?
Come to love editing what you have written.
