Editing Workshop
MAKE REVISING LESS SCARY: BUILD YOUR
EDITING CHECKLIST
Friday, May 29 • 6:30PM
Palabras Bilingual Bookstore
906 W. Roosevelt St., Unit 2, Phoenix
Free, But RSVP Required
No 1st draft is perfect. (Neither is the 2nd or 3rd.) Editing and revising are huge parts of the writing process, but can feel overwhelming. What should you look for? Should you edit everything at once? When is enough, enough?
Join us for this free, in-person workshop where author and educator Gionni Ponce teaches you to craft a personalized editing To-Do List that makes sense and moves your work forward.
YOU’LL LEAVE BETTER ABLE TO:
Identify your writing weak spots and habits
Better navigate feedback from others
Create a personalized editing checklist
Understand why a checklist approach matters
Build from Gionni’s list of common to-do’s
PLEASE BRING WITH YOU:
Something to write on
A piece you are currently editing
Your enthusiasm & curiosity
