Barbara Milbourn has been busy improving her editing and writing skills. In the last 18 months she has read nineteen books on writing and attended three writing workshops. The last one was an amazing week in Taos, New Mexico with Natalie Goldberg, author of Writing Down the Bones (and nine other books). She is presently taking a Grammatika Course - The Essentials of Proofreading and plans to take more editing courses, especially developmental editing, as soon as she finishes with Grammatika. Her long term goal is to get her MFA in English Literature or Writing.
After reading a book by Suzanne Gilad titled Copyediting & Proofreading for Dummies Barbara interviewed the author for our podcast. You may listen to her show here: http://yvonneperry.blogspot.com/2007/07/tgif-july-6-2007.html.
