Do you want to rethink your entire approach to writing?
Better than those reality TV shows focusing on home improvement, Extreme Writing Makeover will help you take a fresh look at your writing, from the ground up. You’ll receive an email every week — for an entire year — addressing (in order):
- Preparing to write (18 lessons)
- Writing (16 lessons)
- Editing (18 lessons)
The step-by-step approach will help you re-think the way you put words on the page. There is a small amount of homework but it’s entirely self-directed so there’s no need to submit it for marking. Best of all, you’ll have the chance to meet with Daphne and other program participants once a month (excluding July and August) for a regular group webinar.
