The Editor’s Toolkit

9 August 2024 2:30 pm

In this one-hour seminar, we will talk about how to unearth your inner editor and develop key self-editing techniques. You will learn about plots and how to test them; character, voice and style analysis; pacing and that elusive “page-turning” quality; what to do with overwriting; and formatting to industry standard. This is a masterclass in the editor-author relationship, giving you an insight into some of the key skills involved and how to use them.
Helen Corner-Bryant spent several years in editorial at Penguin before setting up Cornerstones Literary Consultancy in 1998. It is known for teaching self-editing techniques, providing editorial feedback on all genres, scouting for agents, and launching many writers published by global industry giants.
