| Mini-Workshop Before Copy Editing |
||
Presented by Claudia Suzanne. Misplacing a comma or dangling a participle won't knock you out of the land-a-publisher contest -- but poor structure and static writing will.
Poor structure is the number one reason nonfiction books don't sell. It's the number one reason for novels, too, except in fiction, structure is called plot and characters.
The number-two reject reason for all books? Static writing. More than "show, not tell," more than active verbs and lyrical passages, static writing is all about phrasing and letting go of those academic "rules" you learned in school that no longer apply in 21st Century prose.
Learn how to correct your structure and brighten your writing from a ghostwriter who's worked on over 100 books—including NY Times Bestsellers, award-winning novels, and her own internationally acclaimed title, This Business of Books. Discover how to:
• Chart & restructure nonfiction
• Map & characterize plots
• Convert passive voice & static phrasing to active prose
• Convert tell into show
Give your work an edge over the competition. Learn what to do Before Copy Editing.
