The Editorial Eye: Publishing Practices

About the Workshop

This workshop looks at editing as an act of interpretation, negotiation, and care. Across two sessions, Dr Pallavi Narayan will draw on her experience in international book publishing to open up the craft and ethics of editorial work. Participants will examine how editors shape writing from submission to publication, learning to identify structure, tone, and rhythm without losing the writer’s voice. Open to writers, editors, and readers interested in the unseen decisions that define the literary field.
