Event Description

Registration required. Register for Writers' Craft Workshop: Measure Twice, Cut Once: Editing as Care and Confidence

So you’ve got that elusive first draft – but is it ready for an editor’s eyes?

This in-person masterclass, led by writer and editor Tanis MacDonald, will walk writers through ways to prepare and polish their manuscripts before consulting an editor, where to find an editor, and what writers can expect from the editing process.

As a bonus, Tanis will talk about the many times an editor has saved her from making big mistakes.
