"I was taking Empowering Characters' Emotions when a writing contest deadline approached. Figuring a contest was a good way to see if the ECE techniques really worked, I pulled out an older book that had been thoroughly rejected by editors, agents, and contest judges. I invested a few hours into highlighting, analyzing, and rewriting the first chapter, then sent in the entry. When the finalists were announced, my name was on the list! ECE helped me to see what was wrong with my writing and gave me tools to fix it. I learned so much in ECE, I signed up for Deep Editing and am thoroughly enjoying that one too!"
