FINESSING THE STORY
OR WHAT DO EDITORS WANT, ANYWAY?

Wondering how to take a good story and make it great? What does having a “fresh voice” really mean? And why should I care about filter words, anyway? This presentation shows how those annoying grammar “rules” and writing foundations can take a story from okay to “must-read,” and gives you practical examples so you can do it, too.
