When I started my career as a freelance writer 23 years ago, my sentences were, quite frankly, overweight. Too many wordy phrases, vague phrases, “to be” verbs, infinitives—and it just took me a long time to get to the point.

 

I needed to cut back on consuming all those twink-i-fied words.

 

Even now, my sentences can get girth-y if I’m not careful.

 

But clean writing is delight to the reader … and it bolsters your credibility.

 

Clean writing is like clean eating.

 

Every effective writer knows how to rid their manuscript of toxic elements and cut out unnecessary “word calories” that weigh down their material.

 

So what’s the easiest path to clean writing?

 

Attend the Illumify Writers conference on June 5.

 

Marianne Hering, author of the Imagination Station multi-million selling children’s book series, will be leading a workshop where she shares “7 Steps to Clean Writing for Today’s Consumer”.

 

Your all-day pass—including drinks and pizza for lunch—is only $50.

(No, we won't be paleo-friendly that day!)

 

Attendance is limited and will absolutely sell out. Next week we're promoting the conference to "outsiders" and you may lose your chance.

 

Register here today.

 

Other highlights at the conference:

Paul Young, author of The Shack (over 20 million copies sold) will inspire us via live remote in the morning. An opportunity for questions and answers will follow.

 

Lisa Hawker will share the secrets that helped her novel The Drowning Game hit the USA Today Top 20 Bestsellers list. We'll all listen to her later that morning in her "Building Your Author Platform" intensive. She’ll also lead the “Introduction to Fiction Writing” workshop later that day.

 

Lisa will be available for consultations throughout the day.

 

Register here.

 

Karen Bouchard, author of numerous bestselling books like Just Hand over the Chocolate and No One Will Get Hurt will lead two workshops:

• “The 9-Point Plan for Creating an Awesome Nonfiction Book”
• “Your Memoir: How to Connect with the Heart of Your Reader”

Karen will be available for consultations.

 

Larry Yoder, former sales rep for Macmillan and the discover-er of multiple bestselling authors, will conduct the “Writing Historical Fiction That Lives” workshop.

 

Larry will be available for consultations.
