Why Line Editing matters

The reward a reader gets out of reading a sentence must be greater than the effort they put in to read it.

Poorly constructed prose can lead to DNFs (Did Not Finish reviews) and disappointing book sales.

If you want to keep readers engaged in your story, you must keep your words and phrases simple.

But "simple" doesn't have to mean "boring".

The Elev8 Technique will step you through how to line edit strategically without sacrificing your style.
