Words dont stand still: an image of a book on a desk with a nautical background, and pages and letters flying off of the page.

Somewhere in your manuscript is a word that doesn't mean what you think it means.

Free Live Training for Authors: Tuesday, September 29th at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time

Not a typo. A word you've used correctly your whole life that quietly shifted while you weren't looking. Your readers are using the new meaning. You're not.

In this week's Apex Authors training, we're going down the rabbit hole of how words change, and what that means for your writing:

  • The words changing meaning right now, where half your readers hear one thing and half hear another
  • How to catch the words that will date your book, whatever your genre
  • Why “writing it correctly” and “being understood” aren't the same goal
  • What to do about a book you've already published

And we'll settle the internet's longest-running argument about the word decimate. (Both sides are wrong.)

It's free to attend. (Check your time zone here!) Sign up below and we'll email you the link to join live, plus a replay afterward in case Tuesday doesn't work for you:
