Self-editing your books can be a daunting challenge. Writers often feel underqualified or incapable of editing their own material.
After all, won't your own bias make it impossible?
The answer is: not exactly. All it takes is the right knowledge, correctly applied.
To harness your "editor brain" takes some practice and effort, as well as the proper tools. A well-edited manuscript makes the difference between an audience being captivated or annoyed – and doing it yourself can even save you thousands of dollars on editorial fees!
But how does one make sense of all the "rules" you hear?
- Show don't tell
- Don't use adverbs
- Avoid passive construction
- Keep away from sentence fragments
In fact... are these so-called rules even really rules?
It's time to put any confusion to bed.
Join us for the AutoCrit Self-Editing Workshop, split across two live 90-minute interactive sessions, designed to empower you with the same skills experienced authors are using to level up their manuscripts.
By the time you're done, you will be armed with the tools to tackle your own manuscript and edit with confidence.

What our Members Say About Our Courses
I've never felt so welcome and valued in a course before. Both teachers and students were so graceful towards one another from start to finish.
I enjoyed this course very much, and it has helped give me new things to think about when crafting my own work, regardless of genre. Thanks so much for putting it together!
One of the things I most wanted to improve was the scare factor and intense scenes, really building up that fear. And I thought the class helped with that a ton!
