Did you know that editors charge higher rates for manuscripts that need more work? The same editor's rates often vary one to two cents per word.

​That means that, for an 80k-word manuscript, this training could easily save you $1,000 on a single-pass edit or more than $3,000 on developmental and line editing.

I'm teaching concepts and skills I put into practice every day as a professional book editor. I work with books at every stage of the process, from developmental editing to proofreading. The course covers skills I've learned through studies and through actually working with books every day.
