Brief Introduction

Zoom out on your manuscript and make some bold moves to kick-start your revision.

Description

Most of writing happens in revision. Terry Pratchett once said, “The first draft is just you telling yourself the story.” What happens after—how you shape that first draft into a story for others—is what determines your success. But it’s common knowledge that writers have a very hard time seeing their work objectively. I’ve been working in an editorial capacity with writers for over ten years, first as a literary agent, and now as a full time freelance editor. In this webinar, I’ll cover the most common writing issues in the categories of character, plot, and voice, and how you can teach yourself to recognize them and attack them in your own writing. Work smarter, not harder, on your next revision.

This class is for fiction and creative nonfiction writers of all skill levels, and in all categories. Even picture book writers are welcome! This exploration is just the beginning of what I hope will be a lifelong relationship between you and your editorial pen.
