  • This is the BEST event I have been to on how to edit a manuscript. Louise Harnby was clear, concise, and professional. I learned so much!

WHAT AUTHORS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE WEBINAR ...
​
> This webinar was well worth the time it took to watch it. Although it's intended for novel writers, I found much I could apply to my short stories and essays. As Harnby was going through her suggestions for correcting common writing problems, I immediately recognized some of my own tendencies. I can use her methods to address them proactively so they don't become habit. This webinar was very beneficial.

> I enjoyed watching this video. I will have to watch it again. The one thing I enjoyed was about being concise and consistent with your writing. I tend to be a very descriptive writer and this video helped me to be more mindful of how I write as opposed to how I think in my mind, and how that could come across to my readers.

> This was a resourceful webinar. I identified some of my writing habits that need to be addressed. Thanks for sharing this; it was well worth the time.

> I found it incredibly useful. It was so succinct and accurate. I found it liberating! Very grateful for these insights.
​
> This was a great video covering quite a few of my common tendencies in writing. I appreciate it immensely.
