Crafting a compelling narrative goes beyond the initial draft. Dive into the world of self-editing with our workshop, ‘Unlocking Your Story’s Potential: The Basics of Self-Editing for Fiction Writers’, a guide to transforming your raw manuscript into a polished piece. 

Editing isn’t just about fixing typos – it’s about sculpting your story into its best form. In this workshop, you’ll become acquainted with the various layers of editing: structural edits that lay the groundwork for your narrative, and the nuance of line edits to give your prose its unique voice.  

Led by Dr David-Jack Fletcher, this workshop empowers you to become your own editor. Bring a piece of writing that’s ready for a polish, and immerse yourself in a critical self-editing experience guided by the mantra, ‘Kill Your Darlings’.   

Through hands-on exercises you’ll learn to dissect and enhance your writing. Begin with side-by-side comparisons of unedited and edited passages, engage in the editing process firsthand, and leave the workshop with newfound knowledge, a sharpened critical perspective, and a take-home booklet for future reference.  

Don’t miss this opportunity to elevate your writing through the art of self-editing
