Do you offer any discounts?

Yes. All of my editing clients receive a code for 10% off.

How about a discount for attending multiple workshops?

That will be coming when I finish setting up the next few events.

Can you look at my story/book?

At the end of the presentation, you will receive a one-time offer for me to edit ten pages of your work.

What if I sign up, but then can't attend the event?

I will refund all but 10% of the fee. That 10% will cover the cost of keeping that seat open. If all 10 seats haven't sold, I will refund 100% of the fee. If you would prefer to apply the fee to next month's event, we can do that too!

About this event

Arts • Literary Arts

Welcome to From a Certain Point of View!

Join us for an online workshop where we explore the different types of POV in fiction books. We will explore 1st, 2nd, and 3rd POV and their limitations, challenges, and their ability to help shape your story.

How do you know which POV will work best for your story? What are the pitfalls of each type? What is the market like right now? How do you spot and fix POV slips? How many voices does your story even need (hint: probably less than you think)?

Author and Editor Natalie J. Case, lead editor at Mark My Words Editing and Book Coaching, is presenting this workshop complete with examples from her own work (both writing and editing), exercises to get your brain pumping, and hopefully some wisdom from the editing trenches!
