Editing Workshops
Workshops on self-editing and editorial technique.
What this service involves
Workshops on self-editing and editorial technique. This work sits within our education & workshops practice, and is shaped around the particular manuscript in front of us rather than a fixed template.
Our teaching comes out of daily editorial work. Sessions are practical, text-based and built around the writing the participants bring with them.

Questions
Before you begin.
- How do we begin with editing workshops?
- You send us the work, or a description of it, through the manuscript submission form or by email. We read it, ask any questions we have, and come back with a proposed scope, timeline and fee before anything is committed.
- How long does it take?
- It depends on length, condition and the scale of the work involved. We give you a specific timeline once we have seen the material, and we hold to it.
- Will the work still sound like me?
- Yes. Education work at InkStone is built around your intentions. We explain our reasoning, raise queries rather than quietly rewriting, and leave the final decisions with you.
- What does it cost?
- Fees are quoted per project rather than from a price list, because manuscripts differ enormously. Tell us about your work and we will give you a clear, itemised quote.
