I’m running a new Litro Masterclass in June: Short Work Revision & Submission Sprint.
This is for writers with one short story, flash piece, or essay they want to revise properly and get into stronger submission shape.
I run submission-focused editorial workshops based on real publishing experience, with a practical focus on editorial diagnosis, revision priorities, submission readiness, and how publishing decisions actually work.
Small live cohort. Starts 4 June.
