The EDITS System is a tool I created for writers to analyze scene components. It’s the ultimate show-don’t-tell power tool!
It shows writers what’s working, what’s not working, and what’s missing.
When writers use this five-highlighter system, they see where story momentum starts and stops. Where tension starts and stops. Where the reader may start and stop.
The EDITS System helps writers find a compelling balance of emotion, dialogue, internalizations, tension, setting, description, action, senses, body language, dialogue cues, and more. They learn what works for each specific scene.

Writers: Bring 5 pages of a work-in-progress. If possible, bring highlighters – yellow, blue, green, and pink. Bring a red pen.
