Nearly everything that has been published has had an editor.
Editing is the caring conversation with a contributor about how to make their work the best it can be, ready to be shown to the world. Bringing their experience in both online and print publication, powerhouse Pulch Mag duo, Sophie and Lauren will teach you how to collate and edit work ready for publication… and maybe even how to make your own project!
In this self-directed course, you will be gifted with the materials to learn the basics of editing for structure, flow, grammar, style, and everything that brings the piece to the page. Learn how to converse with contributors, how to respect the authentic voice, and help the writer set sail to publication. Finish off the week of learning with a digital Q&A where we can chat all things editing and publishing as well as anything in the material!
Workshop materials can be downloaded here. Get started, complete the exercises and bring your questions and ideas to the Q&A on Monday 11 April!
This workshop is presented in partnership with the Centre for Stories.

About the Youth Week WA KickstART Festival
Presented by Propel Youth Arts WA, the KickstART Festival has been the flagship event of Youth Week WA for 12 years running. KickstART offers over 60 free events - including workshops, talks, performances, mentorships, exhibitions, markets, and other special events - between 8 - 16 April, for young people aged 12-26.
Due to growing concerns about COVID-19 and the anticipated continued spread of Omicron across our communities in Boorloo (Perth) and WA, the Propel team has decided to pivot towards digital and hybrid formats for the delivery of the KickstART Festival this April.
The Youth Week WA KickstART Festival 2022 is presented by Propel Youth Arts WA and is funded by the Government of Western Australia through the Department of Communities and the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries. KickstART is also supported by Lotterywest, the City of Perth, the City of Stirling, the City of Fremantle, and the City of Vincent.
