If you want to be published, your manuscript needs to be more than just a good idea. This workshop provides concrete tools for self-editing and constructive feedback – from the editor’s perspective. Participants gain insight into the stages of the editing process, learn to cut carefully and preserve the soul of the story, and work with practical exercises on text, scenes, and dialogue. The workshop is aimed at both debutants and experienced writers who want to elevate their fantasy to a professional level.
