Workshop: Editing, Publishing and Beyond
Sunday 13 October: 12.00pm – 2.00pm
Wielding the Mighty Red Pen – The Art of Self-Editing with Bianca Millroy
Getting to the finish line on any writing project is a huge milestone, but the road to publication doesn’t end there – in fact typing ‘The End’ is just the beginning!
If you have a first, second (or seventh!) draft of a manuscript in any form or genre, having the ability to self-edit is crucial before sending your work out.
In this interactive session, you’ll learn (and practice) tips and tricks to making words work for you with experienced freelance writer and editor, Bianca Millroy.
Bring a sample of your writing with you to work with.
Inspiration for Emerging Authors with Nita C Lester
Do you have a finished manuscript and don’t know what to do next?
Whether nonfiction, fiction, children’s, there are four options:
- Self-publish
- Large publishing company
- Small publishing company
- Leave your story in the drawer
In this session, publisher Nita C Lester will discuss what a small publishing company can do for you to help you to get your manuscript out into the world.
