Since Portsmouth Bookfest 2021’s sold-out Take Your Novel Further and Write Your Novel courses, a group of writers local and far-flung have been meeting regularly online to edit their work, reshaping, pruning, prodding, developing early drafts towards publishable standard, in preparation for submitting to agents or publishers. Novelist William Sutton shares methods, tips, pitfalls and secrets of the dark arts of editing.
Appropriate for committed writers, 18+, writing fiction, drama, short story or non-fiction
