SF/Bay Area Panel Discussion: When Someone Edits Your Words

July 9th @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm PDT

We’ve heard tips from expert editors, and we’ve heard feedback from writers who have been edited. But what if you are both? With unique viewpoints from each side of the relationship, hear from a panel of writer-editor professionals as they share their experiences wearing both hats. 

There will be many learning opportunities for writers and editors alike to better understand editorial thinking and processes, then apply these lessons in our own writing or editing practices. 

Register now for this panel and learn about the benefits and challenges of writing with editorial experience in a writer-editor relationship:
