Saying?
I never imagined the amount of detail this course would dive into — from the writer-editor relationship to poetic devices, it truly has it all. Through instructor close readings, sample commentary, and student workshop videos, I learned not only the craft of editing but also how to become a better writer. It opened up a world of ideas to explore, enjoy, and support."
