A Great Course for the Beginner or Experienced Writer
This course teaches tools and tricks of the trade for the new writer and some pertinent reminders for those of us who have been writing for a while, but have forgotten some of the rules or picked up some bad habits (as I have).
Thorough, Well-Paced Course
Leva provides a complete walk through of the components needed to self-edit. She accurately paces the modules into small chunks and an absorbable speed. Thank you for the course.

Worth the time.
informative
The info in this course was 100% helpful without making the listener feel the time spent was a waste. Highly recommended.
A valuable lesson for writers
I thought the course was excellent. I took it as a proofreader, not a writer, and found it very useful.
