The writer’s toolbox: Focused editing

  • Australian Society of Authors - ONLINE Australia (map)

You have a complete draft of your manuscript, which is an accomplishment worthy of celebration! However, the hard work is far from over. Manuscripts often go through several drafts before they are submission-ready — or even ready for peers or professionals to review — and the process of revisiting and editing your words is just as valuable and essential as getting them down on the page in the first place. But where do you start? 

Join award-winning author, editor, and creative writing tutor Maame Blue to learn how you can develop your self-editing skills and polish your draft manuscript.

You Will Learn:

  • The important questions to keep in mind when editing

  • How and why to kill those darlings

  • The impact of point of view

  • What to do away from the page
