In this 75-minute presentation, you’ll learn six critical revision strategies you must employ before considering your manuscript “done,” how to avoid overused and unnecessary words and common grammatical errors, industry-standard manuscript formatting guidelines, and more. Best of all, you’ll receive an editing checklist you can refer to for every manuscript you write from this point forward.
