Concise writing has rules. Learn them in The Concision Power Hour, a one-hour class that helps you cut long drafts faster.
Transcript
Your first draft is too long.
Mine is too.
That’s normal. Overwriting is how drafts get made, but trouble starts when nobody goes back to cut, and readers feel every extra word you leave in.
I’m Daphne Gray-Grant, The Publication Coach.
Cutting has rules. Learn them and you stop guessing.
My new one-hour class, The Concision Power Hour, teaches those rules. Thursday, Sept. 17 at 1 pm Pacific, 4 pm Eastern. It’s $35 if you buy before the class, $65 after.
You’ll get six lessons:
- Why concision wins
- The cut-later mindset
- Why you should calculate the percentage to cut
- My toolbox of tightening moves
- The usual suspects: wordiness culprits that catch everyone
- How to tighten with AI
No theory. These are the moves I use on my own copy and on my clients’.
You’ll get the live session and the full recording. Bring your questions.
If your writing runs long, join me. You’ll cut your next draft faster than your last.
