What you'll learn

You have writing dreams: A byline in your fav lit mag. A Substack post people can’t stop restacking. An essay that hits a reader straight in the heart. Work that wows an agent.

Whatever the aim, learning the various roles of an editor and how to apply tools professional editors use to your own work will get you there faster!

In this one-hitter intensive, we’ll define the many types of editing—managing, development, content, and copy, to name a few. Then we’ll learn some tools of the trade(s) and practice applying them to our own work. Bring a work in progress. Or work with the drafts we’ll develop in the first part of the intensive. Leave with something fresh and tools you can apply to all your projects.

Sunday, July 13, 11 am – 2 pm PDT / 2 pm – 5 pm EDT Enrollment: $75
