FAWQ session: 'Editing for writers'

 Hello writing friends, come join me at Woodford Library for a session on editing for writers as part of the FAWQ Readers & Writers Festival .

Do I need to get my manuscript edited? What if I can't afford it? What's the difference between a structural edit, a copyedit and a proofread - and which one do I want? How can I prepare my work to reduce the cost of editing? How does the editing process work? I'll answer these questions and more in this session.

'Knitting is not enough'

‘Live life when you have it. Life is a splendid gift – there is nothing small about it.’
These were the words of Florence Nightingale, one of the many trailblazing women I’ve researched in preparing for my new children’s historical fiction series, ‘Carly Mills, Pioneer Girl’.
