I recently discovered a valuable Instagram account that offers free writing classes, writing prompts, giveaways, support and community, and other resources. It’s called YouAreHereWriters, and I was honored to teach a 10-minute self-editing class on their IGTV channel.
In my mini writing class, I shared five tips to help you whip your manuscript into shape. My tips centered around:
1. Point of View
2. Setting
3. Emotions
4. Passive Words
5. Crutch Words
If you browse through the channel’s past free writing classes, you’ll find workshops on topics such as historical research, writing book recommendations, handling rejection, dictating your draft, book marketing, book launches, writing from both sides of the brain, researching and writing nonfiction, getting published in magazines, and much more. What a gold mine of free content!
Here is the link to my mini free writing class on IGTV.
