Editing Your Manuscript: Understanding the Stages of Revision

​Finishing your first draft is a huge milestone, but what comes next?

​Join us for a practical workshop exploring how to take a rough draft and begin shaping it into a stronger, more polished manuscript.

​Hosted by Elie B. Hart — Author, Educator and Creative Programming Coordinator at Writers in Riyadh — the session will break down the different stages of the editing process, including:

​✨ Developmental & structural editing
✨ Scene-level editing
✨ Line editing
✨ Copyediting & proofreading
✨ Self-editing techniques you can use on your own work
✨ Working with beta readers and feedback
✨ Knowing what to focus on and when

​Whether you’re working on your first manuscript, revisiting an old draft, or simply want to better understand how professional editing works, this session will give you a clearer roadmap for revision without the overwhelm.
