BEFORE THE WORKSHOP:
Each participant is asked to submit a short sample of their writing on any topic (up to 1000 words) in advance. I proofread this ahead of the workshop, and prepare a document listing any errors and suggested improvements.
The workshop is then scheduled, and in the event that the participant cannot attend it live, a recording is made available to the participant to review in her/his own time.
DURING THE WORKSHOP:
During the workshop, I review any proofreading changes made to the participants’ written submissions by explaining the logic behind any corrections. Suggestions will be offered on how to improve future writing.
In this encouraging environment, participants will be invited to ask questions and have the opportunity to learn from each other’s challenges and abilities.
The workshop session finishes with a short interactive lesson (approximately 30 minutes) designed to address the main issues faced by participants, demonstrating correct grammar and writing structure with suitable examples from classic literature.
AFTER THE WORKSHOP:
Participants receive their proofread written work with corrections, a feedback form that explains their main issues, and a recorded replay of the workshop session.
