Want To Be A Writer's Best Kept Secret?
It’t Time To Start Line Editing!
Focusing on the style and clarity of a piece of writing, line editing, (aka stylistic editing), is an essential skill in the modern publishing industry.
It is mix of creativity and logic, blending together writing and editing skills to create the most impactful edit. When you learn line editing, you will be able to work with books, digital content, business communications, and other types of content.
Creators need line editors to make their work the best reading experience possible. A line editor helps a writer elevate their style to ensure the right tone, emotion, and flow are met — so readers can easily follow and connect to their content.

LEARN FROM AN EDITOR
Up-to-date Editing Training Taught By A Working Editor
Hi, future editors! I’m Phon.
For the last 20 + years, I’ve been proofreading, editing, and teaching people around the globe how to turn their love for language into a successful editorial career.
If you’ve ever wondered whether working with words is possible, I’m here to show you it is.
Like you, I started my editorial business without any connections or prior experience — just a deep love for reading and a desire to learn. And now? I run the business of my dreams and help people figure out how they can do the same thing!
The Art of Line Editing has been one of my favourite courses to develop because it examines what I value most in the content I read: style. Writing is meant to make you feel something, and line editing is the piece of the editing puzzle that makes sure you do.
Our program is full of engaging exercises, in-depth knowledge, best-practice templates, and lots of other goodies to help you go from a beginner to a working line editor in no time!
