Polish your prose and know you’re ready to query with the help of my three-step process!
In this workshop, we’ll discuss the three steps of the revision process.
First, you take a wide-lens view of the plot, characters, setting, and prose. Then you move to sentence-level tweaking, ensuring your verbs and nouns are strong, active, and specific, and that you’re eliminating unneeded words, while integrating setting and backstory properly. Finally, you proofread.
You’ll learn professional tricks, techniques, and tips to ensure your work is ready for submission.
I’ll provide numerous examples so you’ll know how to implement these proven techniques in your own work.
