The Craft of Line Editing Fiction
When line editing fiction, we strive to help authors ensure everything they are trying to do in their story is reflected in the craft of their prose. This process can often feel like a nebulous art, but it can be broken down into practical steps.
During this meeting, experienced fiction editor Tanya Gold will provide craft strategies involving story, voice, and POV to help you strengthen an author’s prose and support them in creating an immersive reader experience.
