Blue Pencil: Writing Consultation with a Professional Editor

Local writers have a chance to receive professional advice on their writing project. Writers will be able to submit a writing project of up to 2500 words and be paired with a professional editor from Editors BC. The editor will prepare a report on the written submission and meet with the writer to discuss it.

This event prioritizes Surrey based writers. Writers from other municipalities in BC are welcome to register and will be paired if there is space. 

• Participants must be 18 years of age or older. 
• Poetry, scripts, or academic papers are not accepted. 
• Editors BC reserves the right to reject submissions if they are tainted with any form of hate or prejudice. 
• Consultations are provided as a one-time service to authors. Past participants are not eligible. Please, register for one session only.

When registering, read carefully the instructions on how to submit your writing project (it must be submitted at least 2 weeks prior to the event itself)

Presented in partnership with Editors BC.
