Event Details
Practical proofreading for writers!
Includes refreshments.
Bring along a hardcopy extract or sample
chapter from your writing to proofread during the party.
Author and publisher Rebecca Laffar-Smith will give a short presentation explaining proofreading marks, common mistakes and words to watch, how to create your own style guide, as well as tips and advice for self-editing and proofreading.
You will be given a practise exercise and then ‘let loose’ to proofread your own writing. Rebecca and former professional proofreader, Britt Ingerson, will be on-hand to answer any questions you have about the editing process.
This event is part of the 2015 Write Along the Highway festival program: writealongthehighway.org. This content has not been reviewed by National Novel Writing Month.
