Writing Tips From a Writer in the Trenches.

Writing Tips from Six New York Times Best-selling Authors

I’ve had blue-pencil sessions with six of the best in the business. Here are some of the most useful things I’ve learned.

Blue Pencil Session: A fifteen-minute session where a professional author or editor reviews three double-spaced pages of your work and discusses it with you.

The writing tips gained from these sessions have the ability to raise your writing to a whole new level.

I’ve attended the Surrey International Writer’s Conference, (SiWC) in my opinion, one of the best writing conferences around, every year for the past five years. As part of the conference package, attendees can choose one blue -pencil session with an author or editor of their choice.

One has to be extremely fast to snag a session with some of the more famous presenters, but in the past few years, I’ve managed to get my first choice every time.
