In this workshop, part of the 7th Annual Spokane Writers Conference, editor Carrie Del Pizzo will offer advice about editing your fiction and non-fiction.
You’ve worked hard on your book and finally wrote “The End.” Now what? This workshop will cover some of the most common questions about editing, like: What is editing? How do I edit my own work? Do I really need to hire an editor? Why is an editor so expensive and what do I get for my money? How do I know when my book is ready to publish?
The Spokane Writers Conference is an annual two-day event organized by Spokane County Library District and Spokane Public Library. All workshops are free and open to the public.
