Making Your Writing Shine
Friday 2 August | 10am – 1pm | Cost $45 pp | Hotel Canobolas
Writers are often told about the importance of ‘polishing’ their work, but how do we go about it? Editing is the answer. In this workshop from award-winning writer and editor Kim Kelly, you’ll get a book industry insider’s view of the importance of the editorial process. You’ll learn what editing is, how can we learn to do it ourselves, and when to ask for help. You’ll gain an understanding of how polished your writing needs to be in order for it to be publishable. Most of all, be inspired by how editing can make you more confident in your words.
