Self-editing and Revision Webinar — Next Webinar is February 11, 2012 at 1PM EST
90-minute interactive intensive focusing on building the skills you need to master self-editing techniques of a more advanced nature.
Included in the first hour:
Knowing when to start your story (not getting bogged down with huge info dumps and unnecessary back story)
Overcoming what Georgia has named the “kitchen sink syndrome” by telling the reader every little detail as opposed to only what (s)he needs to know in order to piece together a scene, chapter and ultimately the story
Editing for pacing, tension and style
A structural review of your manuscript — does it have the correct structure for the type of story you wish to tell?
Overcoming consistency issues (tense, point of view, characterization, character motivation, world building)
Editing for repetition of words, thoughts/ideas, moving the story forward and stale/stagnant scenes/chapters
Editing for grammar, sentence structure/order/word order, word count, syntax, dialect
Reading like a beta–looking at your mss with a critical eye
Second hour: Questions and Answers
Second half of Second Hour: Real examples of manuscripts of participants who want to use the skills they have just learned to self-edit their own work underGeorgia’s direction during class time.
