Location: The Writers Workshop
Tutor: Lorna Partington
This workshop is designed to improve your language craft and your understanding of key grammar principles. Suitable for creative writers (fiction and nonfiction), the session will include writing and editing exercises.
This session will focus on words.
Novelist Margaret Atwood says, "A word after a word after a word is power."
We have all heard that the word can be mightier than the sword ... sadly, our words can end up less mighty than a cotton bud. As a copy editor, I too often see manuscripts littered with the wrong words, weak words, unnecessary words, and biased words. So, in this class, we'll look at how to make every word count in telling your story.
