Making Microsoft Word Work For You
Making Microsoft Word Work For You
Getting lost in your manuscript is easy. Making sure your writing is error free is tough. Responding to agent and editor notes can feel overwhelming. Moving sections around can feel impossible.
But there is hope.
Join Allegory Developmental Editor Christine Pinto to learn how to write more effectively, save time, and keep mundane details from driving you crazy.
Harnessing the power of Word and other strategies, you’ll learn tips for organizing your thoughts, seeing an overall map of your story, outlining on the fly, keeping details consistent, formatting without tears, and moving things around when you change your mind without losing your mind. We’ll also tackle basic organization, version control, and backups.
You'll be able to use these techniques for more effective first drafts and self-editing. When working with editors, you'll improve communication and minimize frustration for everyone involved.
