Edmonton Writers' Group: Creative Writing Workshops

About this event

Adult. Edmonton Writers' Group presents a series of creative writing workshops for beginner-level authors, leading participants through the stages of writing and supporting the development of personal manuscripts. Please note: Working toward the goal of writing the first draft of a story, participants are strongly encouraged to attend all sessions, as they build on those previously offered. Writers should also bring a notebook or laptop with them to help capture and share their ideas with the group as the series progresses. For more information about Edmonton Writers' Group, please visit www.edmontonwritersgroup.ca. Session IX: Editing – The Last Steps Before Publishing Once you have a first draft under your belt, this is something to be proud of. In this session we will look at the process of self-editing, the enlisting critique groups, technical readers, sensitivity readers, beta readers, and how to incorporate their advice. We will also look at the process of professional editing, acquiring an agent (if desired) and submitting for publication.
