Event information
Editing is a crucial part of the writing process—but often feared and misunderstood. It feels daunting; it feels frustrating. Your efforts end up self-defeating.
But it can be fun. And satisfying.

Gain insights into how to:
- separate editing into stages
- reshape work through structural editing

"The input on editing gave objective criteria to cut through the sprawling first draft."
Discover how disciplined editing improves your work. Pick up tips on structure, linking, and flow. Choose a section of your writing: reduce loose words, meandering storylines. Pick up methods of trimming sentences for clarity.
If you’ve ‘written drunk’, as they say, this is where we ‘edit sober’.
Aimed especially at writers of fiction and non-fiction.
Dramatists, poets, researchers and students can also enjoy.
