If you don't edit your fiction, who will? Not an
in-house editor, not anymore.
Writing is only part of the job of creating fiction that sells.
Take the Self-Editing Horror Fiction Workshop with Nancy
Kilpatrick, author of 13 novels, the forthcoming non-fiction
book The goth Bible: A Compendium for the Darkly Inclined
(St. Martin’s Press, October 2004) and editor of 8
anthologies, including Gothika (Roc/NAL 2005, co-edited
with Nancy Holder). This hands-on intimate workshop will
teach you the four types of editing, how to edit your fiction, and
will help you find out what editors look for when they assess a
manuscript.
The Self-Editing Horror Fiction Workshop consists of three
2-hour sessions. Part of each session will be devoted to
talks by and discussions with guest editors, only available to
workshop participants. The guest editors are

novelists seeing publication. He has published a number of
