I had a very enjoyable evening running an editing workshop, online, for The Wee Sparrow Poetry Press family. We looked at different techniques for editing, how a poem builds connection with its reader, and what to look for when reading poetry - to inform your own work. The Q&A section was very interesting, with thought provoking questions.
Workshop invitation: Do you have some unpolished poems that still need a bit of work? Then join us for a free online poetry editing workshop hosted by experienced editor Marcelle Newbold. This workshop offers a focused, supportive space to refine your drafts and sharpen your voice. Participants will deepen their craft and leave with stronger, more intentional poems. Marcelle will provide invaluable techniques and tips for editing to get your poems ready for submission or for a collection. Bring along a couple of first or second draft poems to work on in the hour, and your editing eye!
