The Fiction Editing Collection is a must-have ... The best way to describe the collection is as separate master classes on the topics of point of view, punctuation, and show, don't tell.

Book: Making Sense of ‘Show, Don’t Tell’
I learnt a lot from this book, written in Louise’s typically engaging and straightforward style. I heartily recommend this guide for its clarity and accessibility, its nuanced take and, most of all, its solid, practical approach to identifying and fixing issues.

I’ve done your How to Write the Perfect Fiction Editorial Report and Switching to Fiction courses (in that order) and had the pleasant learning experience this week of working through your Fiction Editing Collection (three pdf books covering point of view, punctuation, and show, don’t tell).
The Fiction Editing Collection is a must-have – even for those who have done your Switching to Fiction course or bought the book as a separate item. Although the buyer of both the course and the collection will find an overlap of topics (and of some of the explanations and examples), the buyer of the collection will be thrilled with the standardized structuring of the topics – which is extremely conducive to self-learning – the additional subject matter, and the even more numerous examples and annotations.
The best way to describe the collection is as separate master classes on the topics of point of view, punctuation, and show, don't tell. I'm looking forward to applying what I've been made aware of, and learned how to fix, to the real-world example of a pending edit.
