About

Want to make the text of your novel sparkle, but don't know where to start? Perplexed by point of view? Addled by adverbs? Confounded by contractions?

It's OK. You got this. I know, because even a moron like me can line edit fiction.

Together we're going to go through the basics, and even some of the not-so basics, of how to line edit. I wrote loads of examples. I threw in a bunch of advice that I got from published authors and professional editors. I put down why some things are OK and other things are not, rather than just shouting at you. Oh, and when you're finished, you'll seriously level up at grammar.

And when we're done, your book is going to be as awesome as you are. And, believe me: that's really awesome.

What are you waiting for? Let's go!
