Announcing:
Content Editing 101

Most online writers try to learn and apply editing best practices all at once.
This is a ticket to overwhelm city and a great way to forget everything you’ve learned.You’ll second-guess every decision you make. Obsess over small details. Get annoyed. And make no meaningful progress.And then, you’ll give up. You’ll decide content editing is a waste of time or something you’ll never wrap your head around. You lean hard on spell-check and call it a day.

I built this course to save you from feeling overwhelmed by or hating this critical part of the writing process.And to give you a roadmap of what to do, when, and why.Content Editing 101 is designed to help you slow down and take it one step at a time.

I’ve also teamed up with AI Whisperer Rob Lennon to create a Learn → Do → Play experience.While AI is not great at content writing (yet), Rob has trained it to edit like a pro.

He’s taken all of my lessons and built AI bots to help you apply what you’ve learned right away.So the course is both self-directed and interactive.And you walk away knowing the principles of editing but also having a set of automated editing tools to apply those principles more quickly.

Here’s how the course works:

We’ll teach you the basics of how to self-edit
We’ll give you manual exercises to lock in your new knowledge
We’ll give you AI bots to help you immediately test and refine your skills

This expert advice + AI approach is powerful.We pioneered it in our Hooked on Writing Hooks course bundle, and it went so well, we’re doing it again, but better.
