This presentation addresses the age-old, frustrating discovery game of wading through countless frivolous objections to Interrogatories and Request for Production. It collects all of the Texas law prohibiting this gamesmanship, and includes forms for a “Meet and Confer” letter and a Motion to Compel, with all of the necessary briefing. It is designed to be extremely practical and time-saving for lawyers and judges.

North Texas Chapter: August Virtual Coffee Hour

Developmental editing can sometimes feel like steering a rudderless ship, but there’s a way to chart your course. In this interactive session we’ll explore book mapping, a valuable tool for developmental editing of longer narratives and for assisting authors with revisions. Book mapping breaks down the manuscript into its components chapter by chapter or scene by scene, revealing patterns that give insight into what’s working and what’s not, and why. We’ll discuss how to navigate the book mapping process, recognize patterns and solutions, and begin to create a revisions plan for the author.

Christina M. Frey is an editor, literary coach, and editing instructor (pagetwoeditorial.com) and served as co-executive of the Editorial Freelancers Association for six years. She specializes in helping both novice and experienced writers to develop and refine their authorial voice.

This Zoom event is open to any current and active EFA member. If you have any question, please contact the chapter coordinators Amber Helt and Richelle Braswell at chap_dfw@the-efa.org.
