Do the words 'edit process' fill you with dread?  

 Any book worth its salt has been revised and edited to take it from the raw version that landed on the page at the outset, to the sculpted, crafted masterpiece that is the published version. As a novice writer this process can seem scary, and you might feel that it is something that should be done by someone with far more experience and knowledge than you have.

If you engage an editor in the process, it will help your book a lot. However, there is a lot that you can do for yourself, that could save you money when the time comes to involve an editor.

How to do a first edit of your book, blog or article. 

This programme is designed to help you become more comfortable with the editorial process and teach you some skills that can get you started on the editing process yourself. 

All courses related to writing and publishing a book can now be found on

Maria Iliffe-Wood's author website. 

Who should attend? 

• You've been writing for a while but never edited your work (whether that's a book, articles or blogposts).
• You've started writing your book and realise that it needs some work, but don't know where to start. 
• You've tried to edit your written work and would like some further guidance.

If any of these sound like you then, this programme may be right up your street.
