FROM THE CREATOR OF THE BESTSELLING, Writing With Flair: How To Become An Exceptional Writer...
Want to become an outstanding editor?
Most editors do a fine job of fixing up the spelling, grammar, punctuation, and typos in a piece of writing.
It takes a different skill level to turn dry, disorganised, and clunky prose into writing that is beautifully organised and bursting with life and energy.
Imagine having that power over your own writing.
Enter, deep editing
Editing Mastery introduces you to a technique called deep editing, known only to an inner circle of exceptional editors.
It offers a systematic way of editing that reliably transforms almost any piece of nonfiction writing into magnificent, sparkling prose.
The deep editing technique forces you to consider every aspect of a document, ensuring that quality gets embedded into each pore of the writing.

Trade secrets
Among the few who know how perform this sort of advanced surgery on writing are senior editors on top newspapers, who spend their days turning raw copy into captivating stories for millions of readers.
I've worked for several such newspapers, including The Wall Street Journal, where I was employed as a senior editor and writing coach for some years.
Once you learn these deep editing secrets, you won't just be a competent editor. You'll become a masterful one.
Having these skills will enhance your own writing exponentially, too, as you begin incorporating deep-editing techniques into your work naturally.
Your books, blogs, essays, emails, or website copy will shine like never before.
What is deep editing?
The system basically has four stages. First, you edit the content of a piece of writing. Then you edit the structure. Next, you edit for style. And finally, you focus on the presentation.
By concentrating on those layers one at a time, your edit will be thorough -- and the writing as a result will look spectacularly polished.
STAGE 1: THE CONTENT EDIT
- You make sure every point in a piece of writing is unique, makes perfect sense, is factually correct, and is worth keeping.
- You organise all the points into an orderly narrative that flows elegantly from start to finish.
- You make sure all the ideas are expressed as simply, clearly, elegantly, and evocatively as possible.
- You fix any mistakes and inconsistencies that create a bad look for any type of professional writing.
You'll be editing a piece of writing right along with me. I chose this interactive method to help you get to the top of the learning curve of deep editing in the fastest possible time.
The writing you'll be working with will be very flawed and difficult to edit. But with my help, you'll move step by step toward making it read brilliantly.
