Register Now for Editing Workshop

In place of our April meeting we will hold a full-day workshop presented by chapter president Kristen Stieffel. In “Systematic Editing,” Kristen will walk attendees through the rigorous process she and other professional editors use to evaluate and edit novels. We’ll look at 10 elements of fiction:

• Character
• Point of View
• Plot
• Structure
• Pacing
• Setting
• Description
• Dialog
• Voice
• Mechanics

You’ll learn how to plan your editing in a methodical way so you can tackle issues in the correct order, avoid analysis paralysis, and—most importantly—know when you have finished.

This workshop will be held April 16, from 9 a.m. to 4 pm., and the admission price of $10 includes lunch. The location is Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church, 1655 Peel Ave, Orlando.
