Revising and Editing 

This workshop presents practical suggestions on revising your own work as well as prompts and tricks for self-editing. It will be useful for writers preparing to submit to agents or editors as well as self-publishing authors.

Prose Microscope: Which Words? What Order?

Writing a novel is about choosing the best words and putting them into the best order. Easy, right? But which words do you choose? And how do you decide when and where to use them? This workshop covers all aspects of prose style: vocabulary, sentence construction, point of view, when to show or tell, how to use dialogue to good effect and much more. This practical workshop will help you to explore how sound, rhythm, words, images and sentence structure can make your storytelling come more alive than you thought possible.

Debi Alper is the author of gritty, funny, contemporary novels with Orion - and a hugely respected tutor and book doctor with the Writers' Workshop.
