This is a comprehensive guide you can refer to any time in the future before you submit your work either directly to a small press or to a literary agent..

That way, if your work isn't accepted, you'll have peace of mind knowing it was because the story didn't fit their needs, NOT because the writing wasn't good enough.

If you use the self-editing checklist at the end of this course, you can transform from a casual writer into a published author.

If you memorize the five simple rules every two weeks, your first draft writing will automatically upgrade. 

You'll have the confidence of knowing you KNOW the rules and that will allow you to relax and feel the deep joy and satisfaction of making your stories shine.
