⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Victoria knows her stuff! I love how she breaks down the process into smaller bites as well as acknowledges that the writing process isn't always "ideal," that there is room for style, trial and error, and differing timeframes.

The pacing of the course as well as the complimentary text were very useful! I love the examples and "quizzes" in each section. I feel like I'm understanding the process better. Although the task is big and time consuming (which is sometimes overwhelming to think about), Victoria is always encouraging and reminds us to be patient with ourselves and our process--- and to never give up!

Thank you so much! I highly recommend this Editing 101 workshop.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I have been a freelance writer and editor for thirteen years. I'm also a self-published author and this course is one of the most helpful tools that I've come across in a long time. I also purchased the Edit Like a Pro Workbook and it was helpful as well. I've applied the techniques and strategies to the manuscript that I'm currently working on and I noticed an improvement right away. The Editing 101 Online Course has made me a better writer.

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.
