Editing isn't just about fixing mistakes. It's a skill that we can practice and use to sharpen how we think, communicate, and make decisions. This workshop introduces practical editing techniques you can apply to your own writing, whether it's an email, a personal essay, or a newsletter. We'll cover how to spot what's not working, cut with confidence, and revise without losing your voice. Walk away with a toolkit of concrete strategies for editing your own work — and thinking more clearly about what to prioritize. 

Annie Brubaker holds a PhD in Literature and has taught writing at Wellesley College for over 16 years. Through her writing consultancy, she works with writers of all kinds to build confident, sustainable, and joyful writing practices.
