Transform your manuscript and your confidence in just one day with author and book editor Kirsten Rees.

Do you have a finished draft - or a nearly finished one - sitting on your laptop, waiting for its moment to shine?

In this 6 hour, in-person workshop, you’ll gain the skills, clarity, and confidence to self-edit like a professional editor and prepare your manuscript for the next step: whether that’s pitching to an agent, entering a competition, or pursuing self-publishing.

You will learn -

-How to spot and fix common writing issues that weaken your manuscript.
-Practical self-editing techniques to tighten prose and elevate storytelling.
-Building confidence in your unique voice and style.
-Understanding the publishing landscape: agents, submissions, and competitions.

The workshop will be held in a beautiful venue, with light lunch and refreshments provided, giving you time to connect with other aspiring authors in a supportive, inspiring environment.

Leave with: a clearer manuscript, a roadmap to your next steps, and the confidence to put your work out into the world.

Lunch included.

🥰

Today, we mourn the passing of Dr. Jane Goodall, a compassionate zoologist, primatologist and anthropologist who forever changed how we view our fellow animals and our place among them.

Because of her care of animals and the planet, Jane was also vegan and a supporter and endorser of the Plant Based Treaty

Her life’s work in conservation, compassion, hope and will continue to inspire generations to be better stewards of the Earth and all of her inhabitants. 🌿🕊️
