• Mastery will make writing easier in the future.
• Applying these professional editing techniques will save you money when you hire an editor for publishing.
• Increase positive ratings/reviews on your books.

Requirements

• You should have a chapter (or five to ten pages) of your writing to apply the exercises. If you do not have anything written, writing prompts will be given. You will need to choose one and write it out before proceeding with the exercises. Although you can do the exercises without a computer, using a word processor with a search capability will make the exercises quicker and easier to complete.
