Before Copy Editing
(this is an advertisement - my apologies to anyone I offend. We're about to lose our electricity and gas)
Before Copy Editing - A Unique 5-Week Online Workshop
* How to Chart and Restructure Nonfiction (Substantive Edit)
* How to Map and Characterize Plots (Substantive Edit)
* How to Convert Passive Voice and Static Phrasing into Active Prose (LIne Edit)
* How to Identify and Convert "Tell" into "Show" (Line Edit)
"Wow, this is great stuff. I learned how to do a basic substantive edit about 2 years ago from a publisher/mentor, but she never explained things in detail - just gave a brief overview of what to look for. Now things make even more sense."
This is the full-length version of the Guest Lecture given in an upper-division History and Editing class at California State University, Fullerton every semester - the same class that has put out the Number One Phi Alpha Theta Historical Journal in the USA for over twenty years!
"Thanks again for the fabulous presentation. It was effective and inspirational. I really appreciate you hitting home the same suggestions for editing that I try to stress every semester."
Don't be fooled by imitations - You won't find this information in any other single Workshop. Find out:
* Why "Good" Manuscripts Get Rejected
* What "Plausibility" Means to Fiction
* When Dialogue is More Hindrance than Asset
* How To Overcome "Writer's Block"
"Whoa!!! There is sooooo much information here. I've never looked at editing like this. Thank you so much for enlightening me on this."
