Online: Bold Types: Editing Mistress-class

Submissions are open for our annual writing competition and this workshop will help you to build your boldness before you send us your work!

Bold Types: Editing Mistress-class, Thursday 22nd October, 2pm to 3.30pm, Online, Women only

So you’ve written you story or poem for our Bold Types competition, but you’re reluctant to let it go. How do you know when your writing is perfect? What will give you the boost you need to share it with the world? Along with some handy editing tips, our mistress-class will give you the support and encouragement to be bold and submit!
