How To Edit A Novel - A Free Creative Writing Workshop

Knowing the best way to edit a novel is tricky. With so many words and so many considerations, writers can quickly become ensnared in different strands of plots, conflict and characterisation.

Organisation is key and so is compartmentalising the process. And this is what we explore in detail in this writing class.

We'll first examine the challenges of editing a novel—the psychological, the motivational and organisational—before discussing some different approaches to editing. We also look at different editing styles before moving onto the most effective method of editing a novel

The bulk of the writing class will focus on this method in particular, teaching you quick and easy tools and techniques to edit more analytically and effectively.

We'll also look at working with editors and how to get the most out of free editing tools.

A short Q+A will follow at the end.

Following the writing class, a recording will be sent to everyone who registers.

Everyone who registers will also receive:

- A free copy of the acclaimed "A Fantasy Writers' Handbook"

- The first chapters of Richie's debut fantasy novel, Pariah's Lament

- An editing checklist

- Copies of the workshop slides

- A discount code to access other writing workshops

- An invitation to join Richie's writing group
