The Self-Edit Workshop

$150.00

In this workshop, we discuss self-editing processes for self-publishing: How can you be your own best managing editor to make for a smoother publishing experience and better consistency. We go over how to build out an editorial calendar; the differences between structural editing, line editing, and copyediting; and the significance of creating a neutral relationship to your work—both for self-publishing and better experiences writing for magazines.

All who sign up receive the recording. Find the Desk Member discount of $25 off here. If you’re a member who’s also preordered On Eating, please upload your receipt to this form for a $50 discount.
