Classes & Workshops
Editing 101 ~ April 27 from 10:00 - 12:00. Editing is the bridge between your brain and your reader’s brain. Learn how good writing becomes great in this introductory editing workshop. How can you effectively self-edit your own work? What’s the difference between copyediting and proofreading? How do you know if you need a developmental edit? Answer these questions and more as you practice different editing techniques and get feedback on a sample of your writing. If you're meeting with an editor or agent at the conference, this is the perfect opportunity to polish the material you're presenting. REGISTER.

NCW is excited to announce a new mixed-genre anthology exploring the concepts of change, renewal, and rebirth. When things change, we experience a variety of emotions—from anger and fear to courage and hope. There is struggle and strife, but also the opportunity to rise from the ashes and create, grow, and love. Whether your specialty is poetry, fiction, or nonfiction, take us through the good, the bad, and the ugly of change. Click here for submission guidelines.
