About This Course

Learn how to edit your own novel for traditional or self publication with the help of a professional editor.

Attract Agents, Editors, and Readers

Are you a writer struggling to get a literary agent or editor excited about your novel? Are you a self-publishing author who can't afford the high costs of hiring a freelance novel editor? This course is for you!

Editing is the key to becoming a successful novelist. Anyone can churn out the first draft of a novel, but not everyone understands how to polish and shine that first draft into something literary agents, editors, and readers will get excited about!

Tailored Lectures and Advice

As the instructor, I will be available to answer questions daily, usually within a few hours. So you never have to worry about getting stuck.

Plus, this course will be constantly in development. New lectures will be added as students pose questions and need extra help. The more students who sign up, the more time I will have to spend on creating new content.

Save Money

Hiring a professional freelance novel editor costs between $800 and $3,000 for a full length book, and if you don't learn how to edit your own novel, you will pay this fee for each and every novel you have professionally edited. With this course, you will have lifetime access, so you can use it over and over again with each of your novels for no extra charge.

Students will also get a 10% discount for life on all of my professional novel editing services.

Achieve Your Publishing Dreams

Blow your competitors out of the water, gain new readers, or finally impress that agent you've had your eye on! Join the course and improve your writing and editing skills today!

  • Students who work through the exercises will end the course with an edited novel.

I find the narration and advice excellent. I find both the graphics and the example of ‘Suzy’s’ story a bit too juvenile, even while I have written a middle grade novel.

Really informative and interesting. It's a very clear, structured method to take yourself through a first edit, particularly if you edit as you progress through each section.

This is a great course for beginner writers looking for information on what should be included in their novel as well as learning some editing guidelines. The only distraction was the open room audio quality and occasional sirens in the background when using headphones. I would still recommend this course.

It is a good match, although I wish I had taken it earlier. I have one novel currently being edited by my publisher, but I still have a chance to make some revisions in the final draft. But I have two more books in the series to go, so I can put into practice the skills learned in this course.
