Course Description
This course will teach you
simple, yet effective self-editing techniques that will improve your
success as a writer. Whether you have already written a book, would like
to try writing a book, or just enjoy writing, you will learn to
eliminate unnecessary words and phrases while strengthening your story.
When you apply the techniques to your writing, they will soon become
habits, which will cut your editing time and costs if you are going to
publish your book.
These techniques work with fictional
and non-fictional writing. The techniques can also help college and high
school students write stronger papers.
Each lecture
includes a short video explanation, a technique to apply to your
writing, and additional exercises to reinforce the technique. There are
also various handouts for quick reference to be used with future writing
projects. These techniques will make the reader experience more
enjoyable, and when readers enjoy your writing, you will sell more
books.
As you go through the course, you will be using
your own manuscript or written piece. When you have completed the
course, your book should be ready to submit to an editor for a final
review. Writing prompts are provided for those who do not already have a
book or story written.
The time required to go through
the course will vary with each student since you are using your own
written pieces that differ in length. Starting out, you will only be
applying the techniques to a couple chapters. Once you have mastered the
techniques, then you will go back and apply what you have learned to
your whole book or written piece.
By doing the initial
editing yourself, you can save hundreds of dollars on hiring an editor.
Then you can use the extra money on marketing. Let's get started!
