Polish Like a Pro - Short Course
"It's not you--it's me." It's time for you to break up with your manuscript, get out that red pen and polish like a pro. This four-week course will cover some self-editing techniques to ensure your book is the very best it can be before you send it to either a professional editor or a publishing house for submission. This course will cover effective book break-up techniques, the index card revision system, editing for the senses, the question and answer technique and more, to help you 'take you book from good to great'.
