ABOUT THE WEBINAR
If you write for children or teens, whether you are a complete beginner or a published author, you know how important it is to make your manuscript be the best it can be before you send it out.
How can you do that? Editing your own writing is difficult—how can you be objective about the plot and characters you created? How can you polish the final draft and find the mistakes you missed earlier? You can turn to others for feedback, and use a variety of techniques that help you get a new view of your manuscript.
In this all-new webinar on self-editing, instructor Harold Underdown will teach you these techniques—ones he uses in his own work as an editor. He'll also point you to more useful resources to make sure you feel confident revising your work before submission.
Each registration comes with access to the archived version of the program and the materials for one year. You do not have to attend the live event to get a recording of the presentation. In all WD webinars, no question goes unanswered. Attendees have the ability to chat with the instructor during the live event and ask questions. You will receive a copy of the webinar presentation in an e-mail that goes out one week after the live event. The answers to questions not covered in the live presentation will be included in this e-mail as well.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Beginning writers who want to learn techniques to use on their current manuscript—and the ones to come
Experienced writers who want to add some self-editing tools to their writing toolbox
Any writer who wants to improve their writing or gain insight into the revision process
