","body":"<h3>Spot different kinds of omniscience, assess their effectiveness, and help authors make the most of their chosen mode</h3>\n<p>Not all omniscient narrators are structured in the same way. Some have a voice as loud as Lemony Snicket&#8217;s; others stay cool and detached, like in <em>Station Eleven</em>. You&#8217;ll learn to spot which mode your author is working in, and catch the moments where they accidentally slip out of it.</p>\n<h3>Spot the difference between head-hopping and a narrator in full control</h3>\n<p>An omniscient narrator can access every character&#8217;s mind &#8230; but should they? And how can they do this without it becoming the dreaded &#8216;head-hopping&#8217;? We&#8217;ll look at key techniques that allow authors to navigate this issue with clarity and control.</p>\n<h3>Know when (and how) to smooth it – or send it back for a redraft</h3>\n<p>Not every omniscient manuscript needs the same kind of editorial input – and knowing which situation you&#8217;re in is half the battle. You&#8217;ll get a clear framework for assessing a manuscript at both the developmental and line level, so you can tell an author honestly what their book needs, without over-promising or under-delivering.</p>\n","no_background":null},{"module":"WordPressAcf_additional_content","title":"About the webinar","body":"<h3>This webinar is for &#8230;</h3>\n<ul class=\"separated-list\">\n<li><strong>Novel editors who know their POV basics and want to go deeper.</strong> You know what POV is and how it works. You&#8217;re comfortable with close-third and first person – now you want the same fluency with omniscience.</li>\n<li><strong>Line and copy-editors who want confidence that their edits aren&#8217;t papering over POV cracks.</strong> It&#8217;s easy to tighten prose at the sentence level without realising you&#8217;re working around (or worse – <em>worsening</em>) a structural issue.  This webinar will help you pre-assess projects before you get into a pickle and teach you how you can best help omniscient manuscripts that <em>are</em> ready for line and copy-editing.</li>\n<li><strong>Developmental editors who want to guide authors through the big decisions, not just flag problems.</strong> Keep or change, redraft or refine – you&#8217;ll leave with a clear way to talk authors through those calls, grounded in their creative and publishing goals.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>How the webinar works</h3>\n<p>My online courses and webinars are hosted on Teachable. You&#8217;ll have instant access to the 75-minute video (subtitles available) and you can also download the presentation slides, a transcript and a reading list of contemporary novels that use omniscience.</p>\n<p>During the webinar, we&#8217;ll take a close look at an extract from <em>Dune </em>by Frank Herbert so you can see effective omniscience in action.</p>\n<p><strong>NOTE: </strong>The <em>Dune </em>extract is also a supplementary resource inside my course <a href=\"/courses/line-editing-fiction/\"><em>Coffee and Clauses: The Art of Line and Copy-Editing Fiction</em></a>. If you have already purchased that course, you can find a small discount code for this webinar inside the introduction.</p>\n","no_background":true},{"module":"WordPressAcf_on_sale_form","on_sale_form":[{"wordpress_id":1982,"acf":{"title":"Buy now for £45","cta_button_text":"I'm ready","background_image":{"localFile":{"childImageSharp":{"sizes":{"base64":"data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/2wBDABALDA4MChAODQ4SERATGCgaGBYWGDEjJR0oOjM9PDkzODdASFxOQERXRTc4UG1RV19iZ2hnPk1xeXBkeFxlZ2P/2wBDARESEhgVGC8aGi9jQjhCY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2P/wgARCAAJABQDASIAAhEBAxEB/8QAFwAAAwEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMEAv/EABUBAQEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAID/9oADAMBAAIQAxAAAAFmaFhwixz/AP/EAB4QAAECBwEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIAAQMEERITMjNE/9oACAEBAAEFAna0zeqxiSmtPFF6f//EABURAQEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR/9oACAEDAQE/Aar/xAAVEQEBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEf/aAAgBAgEBPwGI/8QAHhAAAQQBBQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAECERIhMVFhcfD/2gAIAQEABj8CSG41hRtcRwWc+JF6Pbin/8QAHRAAAQQCAwAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQARITEQcUFhof/aAAgBAQABPyHjtA3LUuIcd6HpVUUmXlI00ML/AP/aAAwDAQACAAMAAAAQSy//xAAXEQEBAQEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABABEx/9oACAEDAQE/EOCXt//EABcRAAMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABETH/2gAIAQIBAT8Q0JIf/8QAHRABAAICAgMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAREhAFEQcYGh8P/aAAgBAQABPxAhVOSYsJXoyliyl1Wi8J6KQGK6fOfD28ce1n//2Q==","aspectRatio":2.318840579710145,"src":"/static/b76cc21cefb4fb015b2f6d4c7ed2f314/f422e/editing-courses-off-sale-form-background.jpg","srcSet":"/static/b76cc21cefb4fb015b2f6d4c7ed2f314/e75b5/editing-courses-off-sale-form-background.jpg 160w,\n/static/b76cc21cefb4fb015b2f6d4c7ed2f314/c01e2/editing-courses-off-sale-form-background.jpg 320w,\n/static/b76cc21cefb4fb015b2f6d4c7ed2f314/f422e/editing-courses-off-sale-form-background.jpg 640w,\n/static/b76cc21cefb4fb015b2f6d4c7ed2f314/a6352/editing-courses-off-sale-form-background.jpg 960w,\n/static/b76cc21cefb4fb015b2f6d4c7ed2f314/ec6c5/editing-courses-off-sale-form-background.jpg 1280w,\n/static/b76cc21cefb4fb015b2f6d4c7ed2f314/af56c/editing-courses-off-sale-form-background.jpg 2880w","sizes":"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"}}}},"purchase_url":"https://checkout.teachable.com/secure/933822/checkout/order_3lgsmp6h?affcode=933822_wleg6zl6"}}]}]}}},"pageContext":{"id":1980}},"staticQueryHashes":["1904826805","930678125"]}
