An essential mini-course for self-editing and elevating your writing to the next level.

There are no hard-and-fast rules in writing. You can do anything as long as you do it with intention, and can make it work. The trouble is, a lot of the tell-tale signs of a novice writer are not actually "mistakes" or "wrong." So how do you avoid them, fix them, or know when you need to break those "rules?"

This course shows you how to identify craft elements such as:
Passive and Active Voice
Descriptive Dialogue Tags
Filter Words
Omniscient POV vs. Head Hopping

...and shows you how to fix them (or let them stand when the context demands).

The course includes worksheets and examples you can refer to again and again.
