July 25: Intentional Editing

July 18, 2024 By Jeremy Madsen

With KayLynn Flanders

Thursday, July 25, 2024, 1:00–2:00 pm Mountain Time

The good news: Your story can be anything. The bad news: Your story can be anything. In this class, we’ll examine editing as permutation, and help you learn how to edit your story—with all its wonderful possibility—with intention.

This session will also be helpful for editors editing others’ work.

Bio: KayLynn Flanders, author of the Shielded duology, holds a degree in English language and worked as an editor for many years before turning to writing. KayLynn is a medium-adventurous foodie and spends her nonexistent spare time traveling, playing volleyball, and attempting new hobbies. She lives with her family in Utah between some mountains and a lake, but you can find her online at kaylynnflanders.com.
