Delaware Authors Forum Presents: The Art of Revision: From First Draft to Polished Gem
Editors scrutinize freelance submissions to their publications—they want
only the best. They are quick to reject submissions littered with
grammatical errors, misspellings, and other inaccuracies. Writers must
submit only their finest work to stand out from the competition, but how
do you ensure your submissions pass muster?
Join author/editor/publisher Weldon Burge as he discusses the essentials
for revising your writing—whether fiction or nonfiction, whether
articles, short stories, or books. Before submitting your work for
publication, make sure it "shines" and will appeal to editors and
readers. Better writing comes from cutting redundancies, fixing errors,
and developing characters, dialogue, and viewpoints. Questions and
comments are welcome throughout the session.
