Do you want to learn how to:

  • turn your messy manuscript into a readable book?

  • craft a scholarly book review?

  • transform your relationship to writing by addressing key “threshold concepts”?

In September, WriteSPACE founder Helen Sword was joined by a panel of writing experts for this 2-hour Special Event.

In the first hour, authors Laura Portwood-Stacer (Make Your Manuscript Work), Steven E. Gump (How to Review Scholarly Books), and Elizabeth Wardle (Writing Rediscovered) introduced their new books on developmental editing, book review writing, and threshold concepts about writing, respectively. In the second hour, Helen conducted a hands-on workshop based on exercises suggested by the panelists.

The video of the first hour of this event is free to all who register. The full 2-hour recording is available for WriteSPACE and WS Studio members in their Video library. (Not a member? Click here and use the discount code SPACEPASS to try free for 30 days.)
