The Art of Editing: Making Your Prose Shine
You’ve finished your first draft, now the real work begins. Join writers Ian Sykes, Sarah Wilson Gregory, and J.M. Clark for a deep dive into the editing process and what comes next after typing “The End.”
We’ll begin with a writing prompt to get you into a creative headspace, then explore how to revise with clarity, intention, and confidence. Learn how to identify what’s working, trim what’s not, and polish your prose until it shines. The session will also cover what to do once your draft is complete, including tips on beta readers, submissions, and moving forward with new work.
This workshop is ideal for anyone looking to refine their writing and take the next step. All experience levels welcome.
