If you want steady, satisfying work as a science writer, you need editors who want to work with you. We’ll discuss how to make the best of the editor-writer relationship from commission to publication. What should you do when the story you’re finding shifts from what your editor expects? What if you need more time? How should you respond when your favorite quote is cut or errors are introduced? Above all, how can you and your editor form a team to produce the best story possible? This workshop will help you become the writer editors turn to the next time they have a story to assign.
