How to Become a Better Writer in an Hour or Less
It’s Quick! It’s Easy! It’s Affordable!
You write on Medium. You want more readers. You want more money. You want to get boosted, dammit.
Is that so much to ask?
Nope.
I am a Writing Coach and editor-for-hire who has been on this platform for five years. I specialize in helping Medium writers upgrade their work and write stories that will get boosted.
I charge $75/hour and am worth every penny.
But you don’t have a lot of money. I hear you. Who does?
No problem! There are three inexpensive ways for you to immediately become a better writer. And the first two won’t cost you a cent.
Free Writing Advice! From a Pro
Last August, I gave a Medium Day presentation about the ten fundamental mistakes I’ve seen Medium writers make over and over again when writing and publishing their work.
The presentation was called Roz Warren Tells You Why Your Title Sucks, Why Your Introduction is Too Damn Long and Why You Need to Shape and Structure Your Work.
It was attended by 222 writers. Many got in touch afterwards to tell me that they found it useful. And that they enjoyed my sense of humor, which was thrilling, since my motto as a human being comes down to If you can’t be useful? Be funny.
You can watch my presentation. For Free! If you do, I guarantee that you’ll learn a lot about how to make your stories better.
Here it is:

I run a Medium pub called Ask an Editor: Writing Advice from a Pro that contains most of the essays I’ve published about writing, with an emphasis on thriving on Medium. For instance?

Should You Change People’s Names When You Write About Them?
Two Things You Should Never Do on Medium
If you read even a few of these articles and take them to heart? Your writing will improve. And it won’t cost you a cent.

My Final Suggestion Costs $75. But it’s Worth it
As I said, I’m a writing coach who specializes in helping Medium writers improve their work.
But you don’t have to spend a bunch of time and money working with me. Instead?
You can book a single hour with me. (Just email me at [email protected])
I’ll spend part of that hour reading your work. (Either a published story or two, or a work-in-progress.) Then we’ll spend the rest of it talking about it on Zoom or by phone.
I’ll give you plenty of useful feedback about what works and what needs work, with specific suggestions about how to retitle, rethink and/or structure your stories.
I won’t just tell you what’s wrong — I’ll help you fix it.
Cost to you? $75. That’s the cost of just 15 lattes! What a bargain!
The Takeaway. (This is a Medium post. There HAS to be a Takeaway.)
I’ve given you three quick and affordable ways to become a better writer.
You might (1) watch my presentation and (2) read a bunch of my essays about writing and (3) then be inspired to book an hour with me. Or you might (1) watch my presentation and (2) read a bunch of my essays and (3) decide that you’ve learned all you need to know and don’t need to book that hour.
Either way? Your writing is going to get better.
You’re welcome.
