The Self-Edit Workshop
An encore presentation of this workshop on how to approach your own writing with neutrality and clarity so that you can self-publish with confidence. We will go over what it means to build your own editorial calendar; how to do a structural, line, and copy edit of your own work; and how to become accountable to yourself in order to be committed to your writing practice—so that you can achieve whatever goals you might have. I draw from my more than 15 years of experience in media as a copy editor, editor, freelance writer, and author to demonstrate the self-editing tools I’ve used as a newsletter writer.
