Editor, Agent, Publisher

A Post-NaNo Panel of Experts

Congratulations—you’ve finished the story you’ve dreamed of telling! Only a fraction of writers get this far—but it’s just the first step. Editing is where authors get to hone the shape roughed out of the marble into a work of art.

But when you’re standing at the foot of Revision Mountain, it’s hard to know where to start.

Join our expert panel of experienced experts–editor, agent, and publisher–with decades of combined industry experience as we offer practical, actionable tips and suggestions to help you demystify the editing process, create a solid game plan for approaching your revisions, and answer questions about your thorniest editing issues.

This online expert panel on Tuesday, December 6, is FREE and open to all authors—register here. The event will be broadcast live on my YouTube channel (subscribe to be notified) if we exceed capacity in the Zoom room.
