Workshop: How to edit novels and short stories w/ Cynthia Rogerson

A two-hour editing workshop led by a professional tutor on 'Finding the Frame' in your work.

Author and tutor, Cynthia, will lead a workshop on honing your editing skills, exploring the power of omission(!) and the possibilities in deeper character development. Cynthia's assured me that we will learn to lose all sentimentality and be ruthless! I can't wait.
