Editing is the key to making a good project great. In this workshop we’ll dive in to the art of editing your own writing. We’ll test out strategies for editing your whole work–from revising the macro structure of your project down to fine-tuning at the sentence level. We’ll cover when to cut, how to strengthen a sentence, the art of condensing, and how to see your own work with fresh eyes. 

To get the most out of this workshop, please bring along a work in progress of any length ready for editing. You can bring it printed out or on a laptop or tablet–however you work best.
