Writers' Hub Workshops

Editors plan, coordinate, revise, correct, and format written content for publication—all while working closely with writers to refine their work. While impeccable grammar skills are an asset, much of their value is in their talent for knowing a good story and how to tell it...and in their intuition. So, what motivates an editor to acquire a manuscript? How do they work with literary agents? What do editors look for? What are the most common areas for improvement among acquired manuscripts? Since an editor can oversee all parts of a book’s life cycle, just what exactly does a day in an editor’s life look like? And what can a writer expect when working with an editor? Serena Jones will share insight on the editor's role and what it takes to move a manuscript from agent to editor to publication. Q & A time follows presentation.
