Want to switch to fiction editing for indie authors?
Learn how to move from non-fiction to fiction, and edit at sentence level with confidence. The 4-step framework covers readability, narrative, dialogue, and technical correction and consistency. Includes a copy of Editing Fiction at Sentence Level.
Rachael Mortimer, Copyeditor and Proofreader:
"I highly recommend this course for anyone thinking of editing fiction. I learned so much from it and it gave me the confidence to offer fiction copyediting in addition to my board game editorial work. The webinar is excellent and Louise explains everything so clearly – I could listen to her all day!"
Stuff you might be wondering about
How long does my course access last?
All my courses come with lifetime access. You learn when it’s convenient for you, not me!
Why do I have to pay tax on courses?
Online self-directed courses, like the ones I offer, are classified as digital products/services in most countries, and adding tax is a legal requirement. Teachable calculates the correct rate of tax for your jurisdiction and remits it to the appropriate authority.
Can I choose the order in which I study the modules?
Of course, though I recommend you follow the order of play the first time you do it because I designed the structure in a way that builds your knowledge logically.
Can I learn on my mobile device?
Absolutely! Teachable has a gorgeous app for iOS and Android that means you can access the course content on your phone and tablet if that’s more convenient.
About your instructor
Hello! I’m Louise Harnby, a commercial fiction editor who specializes in working for independent authors of crime, thrillers and mysteries. I write books and create courses that teach editors:
- the craft of stylistic line editing in fiction
- how to make their businesses visible and compelling.
When I joined the industry in 2006, there was very little instruction dedicated to line editing and business building. Not much has changed, and so I hope that by learning with me, you’ll feel better equipped to tackle both!
