This 4-week workshop is for everyone who is working on a long-form work of prose, particularly novels & memoir, but also useful for writers of short stories and essays.
We will take a deep dive into how to self-edit your work, covering everything from developmental to line edits and exploring different editing techniques to find those that suit you best.
Requirements: You should have at least a few chapters of a novel/memoir or a number of stories/essays you can work on. A complete project (or close to completion) would be ideal.
