PRS Australia October 2024 Workshop

Join writer, editor and academic Rose Michael for a hands-on workshop on structural editing strategies to corral, curate and create writing (participants will be encouraged to use highlighters and stickynotes, scissors and stickytape). This session presents a chance to learn and apply strategies from Rose’s extensive industry experience as a book publisher. It will be perfect for emerging and established academics; supervisors and HDRs; those writing dissertations, monographs, novels or essays. Together we will experiment with ways you can work (with) words to SEE what you are really saying!Please bring along your research question/proposal/idea OR an essay/chapter OR the whole shebang.

Refreshments will be provided during the workshop.
