National Academy of Writing: Public Edit

Need help with your writing? Join us for ‘Public Edit’, a unique event where experts publicly edit a text – working on the principle that writers all face the same challenges.
In the first hour, novelist, non-fiction writer and NAW Director Richard Beard will publicly edit sample texts from any genre of fiction or narrative non-fiction.
Then comedian and novelist Mark Watson will share how he manages to fix the words on the page.

Submission of a text is optional – two selected texts will be circulated ahead of the event. Please send your Public Edit submission (< 2000 words) to [email protected] by Friday 9th October.
