Writers' Club In-Person
Are you a writer? Whether or not you’re published, you can benefit from this supportive writer’s group. Listen to informative talks on a variety of writing-related topics and meet other writers and aspiring writers. Led by local author/editor Brian Forrester. For ages 13+.
This month's topic: Tips From An Editor (featuring Stephanie Wheeless)
Is your story buried under clunky sentences and words that don’t sing?
Worried a professional editor might fill your manuscript with red ink?
In this workshop with veteran editor Stephanie Wheeless, you’ll see your own work with a more discerning eye.
You’ll learn how to…
-
Spot the “low-hanging fruit” that you can fix right now
-
Make every word earn its place without second-guessing
-
Catch grammar gremlins before they multiply
-
Know when to DIY and when to call in the pros (and save money doing it)
You’ll receive guidance from Stephanie Wheeless, owner of Wheeless Edits, a Hampton Roads editor and book coach with a BA in Psychology, an MA in Teaching, and a Copyediting Certificate from the University of California San Diego. Expect hands-on practice that makes revision feel doable instead of dreadful. This free Williamsburg Regional Library workshop is led by Brian Forrester, an award-winning copywriter and the author of two young adult novels. His most recent book is Color The Sky With Song.
