Important information in simple language finally puts self-editing
within your reach.
THIS EBOOK OFFERS CONCRETE ADVICE
FROM A PROFESSIONAL
DEAR FELLOW-SBIER,
I know how it feels to worry about your writing and not know where to
find help.
I write myself, and as an editor, I work with writers like you all
the time.
I decided to extend the help I give writers by writing out the
solutions to the most common problems writers have and making them
available to you.
NOW MY EBOOK HELPS WRITERS TO HELP THEMSELVES WITH THOSE VERY REAL
CONCERNS ABOUT WHETHER A TEXT IS GOOD ENOUGH.
"I have finally made it through GYWFF. I love it!
You know how much I want to become a good writer and this book
certainly helps. Why? Because it about editing, not writing. While
reading it I realized that it's okay to make mistakes while writing,
because you can always go back and fix them. Sounds silly, but for an
anal engineer like me it's almost a revelation. Even though I've
always known that I don't have to get it right in the first draft,
GYWFF reinforces the point. Now I can relax while writing and enjoy
the process a little more."
--Bill Drago, East Islip, NY

When I began to share sections of the text as I was creating the
book, the writers were thrilled.
Before I get into the details, let me introduce myself.
My name is Audrey Owen.
You may have seen my posts in the SBI forums where I'm the Site
Review moderator.
I'VE LOVED WORDS SINCE I WAS A WEE MITE WHO SLEPT IN A CRIB. At two I
reeled off nursery rhymes. As a child, I read for hours curled up in
the big green stuffed chair. In University, I studied English
literature. As an adult, I taught both native English-speaking
children and preservice ESL teachers how to use language to best
advantage.
My natural love of language and my habit of asking how and why
writing works the way it does or how and why it misses the mark caught
the attention of peers and a professor of writing. WITH THEIR
ENCOURAGEMENT, I BEGAN TO EDIT FORMALLY.
WITHIN THE EDITING COMMUNITY, I'VE SET MYSELF APART BY OFFERING AN
EDUCATIVE EDIT THAT SHOWS READERS NOT ONLY WHAT NEEDS TO CHANGE, BUT
WHY.
The response from my clients gives me daily confidence in the value
of what I have to share.
So, just how will you benefit from my skill and experience?
YOU NEED A COMPETITIVE EDGE. . .
"An excellent read, it's going to be really helpful to me when I
have to write things for my employer.
I found the parts about paring paragraphs really useful."
--Lesley Pinkett, Ottery St Mary, England
WHEN YOU WRITE FOR THE INTERNET...
You write for a different breed of reader than those who write for
hard copy publication. Not only do you need to know the rules for hard
copy writing, but you also need to know what makes reading from a
computer screen different and how to help your reader through your
message.
IF YOU WANT TO SELL YOUR WORK TO A TRADITIONAL PUBLISHER...
You probably know that only one in ten submitted manuscripts gets
even a first read at a publishing house. That manuscript is error-free
and written in a compelling style.
IF YOU WANT TO SELF-PUBLISH (AND THIS INCLUDES EBOOKS)...
You face an uphill battle against the idea that all self-published
material is second-rate. The idea has a solid foundation in reality.
To overcome the prejudice, self-publishers who want sales must be
better than the rest.
IF YOU WRITE FOR BUSINESS...
Your words form your image as much as your power suit does. Within
your business, you need your communications to be clear and concise.
Time is money and confusion can lose you significant money.
_\"I'M WORKING WITH ANALYSTS ON IMPROVING THEIR RESEARCH REPORTS,
MOST OF WHICH ARE TRANSMITTED ELECTRONICALLY. I WAS PARTICULARLY
INTERESTED IN YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT MAKING ONSCREEN READING MATERIAL
MORE READABLE.\"_
--Barbara Andrews,
Quality Editor, Nerac, Inc.
When you write to clients, you need to be compelling as well as
clear.
IF YOU ARE A STUDENT...
Know this: Your instructors would not read most papers unless they
were paid to do so. I've marked enough university-level assignments to
know the effect of writing that makes a clear point in an interesting
way.
Make no mistake, you do need to be making a good point to get a good
grade. But if you are teetering between a B+ and an A, showing
yourself to be articulate will tip the balance.
THE GOOD NEWS IS...
\"YOU SAVE TIME AND MONEY
BECAUSE YOU INCREASE YOUR PRODUCTIVITY!\"

say with certainty.

the Search Engines, dealing with a publisher's slush pile, a

office, writing with clarity moves you to the top.

IN THEIR WRITING._
