Editing Your Novel: From Draft to Submission
Your novel draft is complete. Now what? Move from draft to focused revision through craft instruction, practical exercises, and guided workshop time. Explore genre, story structure, character arcs, pacing, and point of view while learning techniques to identify structural challenges, build on your narrative strengths, and refine your manuscript. You’ll create a personalized editing plan tailored to your goals and genre, giving you the tools to evaluate your revisions and take the next step toward publication—whether querying agents, self-publishing, or working with an editor.
Prerequisite: a completed or near-complete novel or novella draft for whatever your target audience is.
Please note: Due to circumstances our of our control, the instructor is no longer able to teach the class in person and it will now be held on Zoom.
