Description
Writing a book involves two distinct activities: drafting and editing. But when is the right time to do each one? Should you finish a complete draft before revising, or edit as you go? In this workshop, authors Alex Kourvo and Bethany Neal will show you the best way to get a rough draft done, the easy way to edit it, and how to get out of your own way to get that book finished.
This is part of the monthly Emerging Writer’s Workshops, which offer support, learning, and advice for local authors. Each month, two weeks after the workshop (this month on Thursday, November 17 at 7 p.m.), there is Meet-Up where the instructors will read samples of your work and offer advice and assistance in a casual, supportive atmosphere. Do you have a completed manuscript? Bring your work to one of the Meet-Ups to be considered for the library’s new imprint, Fifth Avenue Press.
