About

This monthly gathering of writers explores different facets of the craft through expert talks, engaging conversation, and opportunities to read their writing.

We'll highlight a different topic each month with guest specialists, interactive sessions, and lively discussions. Whether you're an experienced writer or just starting out, there's always something new to learn at each gathering.

October's topic is: Editors with Natalie Motanez! Our chat will include hiring editors and the different kinds of editing. Natalie will also go over how an author can find, interview, and select an editor, and what they can expect the process of working with a freelance editor to be like.

Come prepared to write, reflect, and discover new dimensions of your own story.

Ages 14 and up are welcome.

Natalie Montanez

Natalie Montanez is a freelance copyeditor working with traditional book publishers and small businesses. Prior to launching her own company, she worked for nearly two decades in advertising and corporate communications with The Walt Disney Company, Nordstrom, The Seattle Times, and WMATA, among others. She used to be an AP style zealot, but she's since warmed considerably to Chicago style and the serial comma. You can learn more about her at thebravebeagle.com.
