Extreme Book Editing
Editing starts with the external story structure, or story spine. We’ll show you how to give your story an X-ray to make sure all the bones are lined up properly.
We understand how launching out into a goal, a dream, or a serious endeavor like writing a novel is, well, daunting. You have the fire, the idea, and the characters, but how do you keep going?
(And going...)

Extreme Book Editing starts with the external story structure, or story spine. We’ll show you how to give your story an X-ray to make sure all the bones are lined up properly. If they aren’t, then we’ll show you have to give that plot a little storycrafting adjustment.
Your Instructor
Hi. I'm Susan May Warren. I started writing while I lived in Siberia (yes, you heard that right--cold, snowy, Siberia). Alone. No one to help me, overwhelmed and not a little discouraged. Eighteen years later, I've published over 80 books in five different genres, have landed on numerous bestseller lists (including USA Today), won the RITA, CHRISTY and CAROL awards (and others) and started a school for novelists.
I've learned a few things along the way (beyond techniques on how to stay warm in the tundra!) Most importantly I learned that if I wanted to be published, I had to figure out how to write a book, how to edit it, how to step back from my stories, look at them with a critical eye, figure out what a good manuscript looks like, and then use my unique voice to make that happen.
I'd like to teach you how to write a good book. Edit it...and then, we'll talk about selling it.
