  • Workshop Writing for your Readers
    Workshop: Writing for Your Readers: A Four-Day Editing Workshop Led by Leslie Rindoks

    Workshop: Writing for Your Readers: A Four-Day Editing Workshop Led by Leslie Rindoks

    Pat Conroy Literary Center 601 Bladen Street, Beaufort, SC, United States

    In this highly interactive four-day workshop, we’ll reactivate (and even befriend) our inner editors. We’ll examine other writers’ early drafts, try our hand at editing those, and compare our efforts to final, published versions. Instead of worrying where to put commas, we’ll explore where our characters are, what they’re saying and doing, and why.
