Editing your manuscript: from first draft to final proof
Wed 17 Jan 2018 to Wed 21 Feb 2018
Once your story is on the page, the editing process begins. But where do you start and what skills do you need? This six-week City Lit course guides learners through the editing of a story or manuscript, exploring approaches to making line edits, improving narrative structure and everything in between.
During the editing process, the writer transforms their work from that raw first draft to a polished piece of literature, making it one of the most rewarding stages of a writing project. This course, ideal for experienced creative writers, is designed to help you fruitfully apply the editing skills you learn to your own work and to the writings of others.
Tutor: Writer/playwright Sue Healy’s work has been developed by the Abbey and Criterion Theatres. Most recently, Cow (2017) showed at the Etcetera and Brazen Strap (2016) ran at the King’s Head, funded by Arts Council England. Her nine radio-plays have broadcast on BBC Radio 4 (Opening Lines winner), WLRfm and KCLR96fm. She has won prizes for her prose including the Molly Keane and HISSAC Awards, BBC Opening Lines and the Escalator Award. A UEA Creative Writing MA alumna, she is completing a Ph.D. and is Literary Manager at the Finborough.
