We'll explore the critical role of editing in the publishing journey, learning about the various types of editing, the dynamics of the editor-writer relationship and how timelines and expectations vary.

So, you’ve got the writing part down, now how do you get it out into the world? This workshop will help to uncover the path to publication – both traditional and self-publishing routes – and some ways to help you avoid the slush pile.

Mentorship pair Seyward Goodhand and Amelia Deizter-Dicks took part in our 2021/2022 Professional Mentorship Program. Their focus was on creative writing. Amelia worked on writing short fiction stories and incorporating Seyward’s feedback into every new draft. They also worked on submitting Amelia’s stories to a number of journals and magazines. And attended book launches and networking events for writers together.
