Reviews
There seems to be something wrong with the lesson on editing, revising, and proofreading.
In slides 8-10 it seems that the terms for editing and revising were swapped.
Universally applicable, presented in an entertaining manner, and quite thorough. Even experienced writers will pick up on one or two aspects they usually overlook. Highly recommended!
