The Self-Edit: A Workshop for Better Writing
This workshop will teach you how to edit yourself on three different levels—copy, sentence, and structure—using my own work as a live example. I will provide a checklist for you to use when you are getting into the process of deeper self-editing so that you can have a helping hand to guide you. I have experience as a copy editor, editor, freelance writer, author, and independent publisher that I will draw from, and in our discussion, I will answer any nitty-gritty questions you have about self-publishing.
WHEN
Tuesday, September 16
11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. EST
OR
7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. EST
If discussion is robust, we can go to the two-hour mark.
WHERE
Zoom
The link will come to you as a download upon purchase.
ABOUT ME
My own general-interest culture newsletter, From the Desk of Alicia Kennedy, has grown to nearly 40,000 subscribers over four years, and is read in all 50 States and 166 countries.
In this time, I've also written the bestselling nonfiction book No Meat Required: The Cultural History & Culinary Future of Plant-Based Eating; contributed to Harper's Bazaar, Bon Appétit, The New York Times, Vox, and many more; been anthologized in Best American Food Writing 2023; and am now finishing my second book, for Hachette, to be titled On Eating: The Making and Unmaking of My Appetites. A collection of my essays titled Desde Mi Escritorio was translated by the Spanish publisher Col&Col in 2023, as well. I've taught at the graduate-level in food studies at Boston University and lectured at MIT, Bates College, Tufts University, and more.
