Self-editing is not easy, but with this course, you’ll develop a system of tools and techniques that will help you craft stories readers can’t put down while also elevating and polishing your prose. Across 13 lessons, you and your red pen will master the stages of the developmental editing and line editing processes. You’ll learn how to move from the big picture to the little picture with your edits. And you’ll build a custom toolbox for evaluating your own work with an editor’s eye.
This course is targeted to fiction writers, but if you’re telling a true story about real people and events using the stylistic elements of fiction, such as scenes and dialogue, you’re also in the right place. With this course, you’ll discover how effective editing will take your stories from good to unforgettable.
