Central Events BIn 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.
By attending library programs, you are agreeing to potentially appear in photos/videos taken at our locations that may be used in promotional materials including social media.
We strive to make events welcoming for people of all abilities. To request accommodations, call the library at 509-444-5308.
