It looks like the EFA is currently running a sale on their traditional courses. I still have a few slots in my Editing Science Fiction and Fantasy class, but you can find others on macros, line editing, editing romance, and more! #editing #bookediting #bookeditors #lineedit #developmentaledit
Editorial Freelancers Association
Journey into the uncharted worlds and arcane magics of science fiction and fantasy editing. These genres have audience expectations that can be opaque to an unindoctrinated editor, but once you get to know them, you’ll learn just how much fun editing speculative fiction can be!
