Events › Blue Pencil Writing Consults: Get Professional Editing Advice on Your Writing Project

Need an expert opinion on how to take your writing project to the next level? Sign up for an editing session with a member of the British Columbia branch of Editors Canada to get feedback on your writing.

Provide your submission of up to 2,500 words in advance, along with a short description of your project and one question for the editor. An editor will prepare a two-page report and discuss it with you during the Zoom session.

Blue Pencil Writing Consults are provided as a one-time service to authors to help them understand the editing process. Priority for registration will be given to B.C. residents. Authors based outside of B.C. must sign up in the appropriate slot and will be accepted on a standby basis.

The program does not accept poetry or scripts and reserves the right to reject submissions on the basis of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia or hate speech.

Please register at least 14 days in advance and email your submission to csm@editorsbc.ca in Microsoft Word format.

Presented in partnership with Editors Canada.
