Editing Strategies for the Serious Writer
Editing Strategies for the Serious Writer
If writing is like the act of chipping away the rock until you find the stone you’re looking for, then editing is the cutting and polishing it takes to make that rock sparkle.
In fact, the best writers aren’t afraid to cut and splice—to dive in, tear their projects apart, then re-stitch the parts so they’re stronger at the seams.
But sometimes it’s hard to know where to begin or what to focus on first.
Editing Strategies for the Serious Writer is designed to help with each level of the editing process, from those big-picture developmental edits to proofreading, which requires a keen eye for and attention to detail.
Course content includes fifteen video lectures, a 40+ page course guide with key takeaways for each lesson, course worksheets, a grammar/mechanics cheat sheet, and a revision checklist for when you’re ready to apply what you’ve learned to a work in progress.
Fiction. Non-fiction. Romance. Memoir. Horror. Picture Books. Writers of any style, genre, or audience can take their writing from good to great with a strong editing process in place—when they know the key errors to look for and specific tips and tricks that will make certain aspects of the revision process easier to tackle.
But why sharpen those self-editing skills?
Because every correction you make is one step closer to improvement. It’s one improvement closer to publication. It’s one less error that interrupts the flow of your writing--one less error that distracts the reader, pulling them out of your story.
With the right strategies, you can be your own best editor.
You have your stone; let’s make it shine.
