The world of book production has changed drastically for the fiction and non-fiction writer. In today’s world of publishing, the intense competition for the attention of publishers and readers means you are pretty much on your own as far as
the editing of your book, especially as a first time writer. In this course, Effective Editing, we discuss the information you need to proofread your material so you eliminate the grammar and spelling errors that are so distracting to your readers. But editing
is about much more than a simple proofread. This course also shows you how to analyze and take apart your fiction or non-fiction manuscript, and work through the deeper problems you might have with the plot, characterization, dialogue, organization, and logic.
If you are ready to learn how to edit your own writing and make it better than you ever dreamed, then let's get started!

Recall the principles of sentence and paragraph structure in order to make your writing more concise
