Finally, a writing course to help you prepare your stories for self-publication, saving you – literally – thousands of dollars on professional editors and book doctors!
We live in extraordinary times.
Writers are now more truly independent than they have EVER been throughout history.
There’s only one thing standing between your writing and your reader – and that’s a good edit.
But who wants to pay a minimum of $1500 a manuscript to get their work edited professionally?
The only thing that makes economic sense is if writers learn to edit their own work – and do it so they look slick, professional and AS GOOD AS tradionally published work – something that is not quite as difficult as you’d imagine.
Especially if you take this course to get you up to speed.
