Take a tour of the online course BOOK EDITING BLUEPRINT: A STEP-BY-STEP PLAN TO MAKING YOUR NOVELS PUBLISHABLE.
In Book Editing Blueprint, your mission is to learn how to do a thorough developmental, line edit, and copyedit and to create a solid action plan. By the end of this 10-module, self-paced course, you’ll have prepared a detailed editorial report and will be armed with a simple self-editing checklist to guide you through your revisions. It’s a proven system that outlines what every fiction and creative nonfiction author should do before approaching an editor. That way when you’re ready to hire a freelance editor, you’ll get much more value for your money and should receive a high level edit rather than one filled with general beginner advice.
In this video, I’ll show you what the classroom looks like and give a quick overview of each lesson.

Finally, the Book Editing Blueprint launch is just around the corner. It will be launching in March, and to celebrate, I’m having a giveaway! I thought this online course was going to be ready last fall, but I kept adding more and more content to it. Now I’m just doing some final proofreading and working on my launch blog posts and videos. I can’t WAIT to open enrollment.
But before the grand launch, I decided to give away one advance spot in the course PLUS a free developmental edit of the winner’s first 50 pages. To enter the giveaway, visit this link or fill in the below form.
The giveaway will run through Feb. 23 at 3:30 p.m. EST. There are loads of ways to gain extra entries such as by sharing the post, following me on social media, and checking out a few of my blog posts and videos. Your odds of winning increase with every person you refer.
The prize pack is valued at $500. (A combination of the course enrollment and my editing fees.) This course is designed to help beginner and intermediate writers save time and money by learning to think like an editor. It includes:
- 10 modules
- 28 videos
- 71-page workbook
- 200 pages of transcripts
- 25-page self-editing checklist
- Interactive quizzes
- Bonuses
It’s a self-paced course, and you can either binge through it in about 10-14 days or take your time. Plus as part of this giveaway, once the winner finishes the rewrites, I’ll do a developmental edit of the first 50 pages. So go ahead! Let’s see who will win the free spot!
