Talent Development

Location: Wine-Price Building

Description: H.G. Wells said, "No passion in the world is equal to the passion to alter someone else's draft."

In this workshop, participants will gain:

  • An increased ability to accurately proofread documents in various genres and styles
  • An ability to work with writers in an editorial role
