Description:

You have many pieces of writing, maybe some photos - but what do you do after you've got your first rough draft? This course delves into the process of "finishing up" writing to share (privately or publicly). We cover types of editing (substantive, stylistic, copy-editing); ways to structure content; publishing vs self-publishing, and print formats to consider. Focus is on memoir, legacy, and family history writing; content applicable to many. Leave inspired and clear on next steps to completion.

Instructor: Mali Bain, BA (UBC), BEd (SFU), MA (UBC), a former high school teacher, has also worked in university, philanthropic, and non-profit settings. She is a certified guided autobiography facilitator and founder of NextGen Story: Custom Publishing.
