You’ve been writing for some time now. Or maybe you want to start writing down all those stories circulating in your head. But what about revision and editing? How important is it and how do you make the most of it? Come join award-winning editor Ann VanderMeer at this editing workshop where you will learn about the different services an editor can provide to improve your fiction as well as how to incorporate revision into your writing process. A mixture of short lectures along with playful writing exercises await you in this workshop. Lots of hands-on writing games that will demonstrate how you can revise your own fiction, alone and with others. Participants will also learn how to work with professional editors and others in the publishing world.

The workshop is free but registration is required. We encourage prospective participants to book quickly as spaces are limited, and will be allocated on a first-come, first served basis.
