Welcome to the first session of One Small Edit. Hop in to practice one specific editing move you can use right away in your own work.
Today’s foundational move is to diagnose before you edit.
To join, all you need is a work in progress or a few sections of free writing. I’ll walk you through a second look at one paragraph, stanza, scene, or small snippet of writing.
You’re also invited to share a margin note in our private chat when you’re done.
The audio for this session is in the voiceover at the top of this page. Press play to listen.
