SPRINGBOARD: A Weekend of Transformational Self-Editing
James River Writers invites you to a hands-on editing course designed to transform your fiction or memoir manuscript, empowering you on the journey toward publication.
You know your story better than anyone. Thus, the revision process is most powerful when it begins with you. Following this course’s step-by-step self-editing strategies, your manuscript can transform into the book you always knew it could be — whether you’re new to your craft or simply ready to empower (and speed up!) your creative process.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
-A full or partial manuscript (a full manuscript is ideal; 100+ pages is fabulous; 50+ is workable)
-A laptop or other electronic device with access to Microsoft Word, Pages, Scrivener, Google Docs, or similar word processing software (whichever you use to compose your work)
-A willingness to dive deep!
WHAT YOUR REGISTRATION INCLUDES
-Two days of targeted instruction by highly regarded editor, Kris Spisak
-Two days of intentional time to self-edit your work
-Breakfast and lunch included both days
-Tour of the gardens
-Goodie bag
-All in a beautiful setting at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden
