Year of the Edit with Kim Wilkins
Any author will tell you the first draft is never the last. Novel writing is a long process, and revising and editing is often the biggest challenge writers face. Year of the Edit will help you explore the possibilities in your completed draft. Over five progressive masterclasses you will develop skills in structural editing, expression, grammar, style and group critique. Your peers will provide critique during the series and your tutor will assist in outlining the strengths and potential in your submitted work.

When: 10am-4.30pm, Sundays - 4 July, 8 August, 12 September, 3 October, 7 November

Where: Room 1A Level 1, State Library of Queensland, Stanley Place, South Brisbane

Cost: $595. Exclusive to QWC members. A non-refundable $295 deposit is required to secure your booking with the balance to be paid no later than 14 days prior to the first masterclass.
