This one-off online workshop shares methods, tips, pitfalls and secrets of the dark arts of editing. This crucial part of the writing process can feel daunting or frustrating – or it can be fun, and satisfying.
- I've now edited out 30,000 words! I thought it would be a chore, but it was fun.

Choose a section of your writing and discover how seriously writers take editing. Pick up specifics on how to improve dialogue, layout, structure, character. Reshape your story, or perfect the dialogue. Reduce that waffly draft to a sleek hard-hitting story.
- Gave objective criteria to cut through the sprawling first draft.

Appropriate for committed writers, 16+, writing fiction, drama, short story or non-fiction. Feedback on previous courses:
- Inspiring session.
