SUMMARY:Editing Your Writing with Jenny Parrott
DESCRIPTION:Editing and Submission\nThis course is designed for all so
 rts of narrative writers, be you a novelist, memoirist, short story au
 thor, or non-fiction writer. It’s about how to make your book as goo
 d as it can be, and so is suitable for writers who have completed the 
 roughest of first drafts, right through to those with more careful sub
 sequent drafts which should soon be ready to submit to agents and publ
 ishers. And let’s not forget those writers stuck in between, with a 
 whirl of drafts and tweaks, when the initial direction and intention, 
 once so clear, can suddenly feel hazy.\nParticipants will be encourage
 d talk about problems they have encountered, and we’ll look at all m
 anner of fixes and things canny writers can do to help their craft. Ac
 ross all six sessions, there will be guidance on preparing an elevator
  pitch, a ‘selling’ blurb, decent synopsis, mission statement and 
 author biography. And how agents, publishers and booksellers actually 
 make the decisions that they do, and what you can do to improve your c
 hances.\nWeek 1) Working out what have you have actually written.\nWee
 k 2) How to feel confident about what you naturally do well.\nWeek 3) 
 Tips and tricks for discovering your weaknesses; knowing what these ar
 e is half the battle!\nWeek 4) Fixes, and more fixes.\nWeek 5) The fin
 al checklist of potential problems to tick off, and how to double-chec
 k research.\nWeek 6) Things writers do routinely that put agents and p
 ublishers off, and how to avoid these slips so that you can submit wor
 k as effectively as possible.\nOther aspects of all types of narrative
  prose that authors must decide about shall include structure, tone, v
 oice, tempo, dialogue and - as an author - your crucial relationship w
 ith your reader. Zoom delivery. Cost £140.\nSpring One: Evenings\nTue
 sdays 6.30-9pm; Jan 3, 10, 17, 24, 29 Feb 7.\n\nFor more information v
