You’ll also learn to spot common pitfalls such as echo words, weak dialogue, and information dumps, as well as techniques to trim wordiness and polish your prose. This session is designed to help writers take control of the editing process before seeking outside feedback. It is perfect for writers at all levels who want to craft cleaner, more compelling drafts. Bring a scene or short excerpt of your writing for hands-on practice.
