Courses for Editors

Looking for help with your professional development? You’re in the right place!

I’ve got courses! I’ve got workshops! Some are self-paced and some are instructor-led. Some can help you with your business and some can help you with your craft.

They’re all packed with information and exercises to help you get where you want to go. And they all feature my trusty editorial assistants. 🦖🦕

Self-Paced Courses

You can get these courses right away and take them whenever works for you.

And if you want additional support while you’re working through them, you have the option to get some one-on-one time with me.

All self-paced courses are available for two years after purchase.
