📚 Overview
A novel’s real magic often happens after the big rewrites, in the careful shaping of each sentence. Your clarity, rhythm, and word choices will determine how readers experience your story — whether a moment lingers or falls flat. In polishing your prose, you turn a solid draft into a book readers can’t put down. In this Monday Masterclass, novelist Lori Goldstein shows you how to transform your draft line by line so every word earns its place.
