Hi all,

Welcome to the fourth week of the editing your first draft course! You can find all previous weeks linked in this summary post if you need to catch up.

We worked on the heart of the story as well as the perspective from which the story is told and its setting. We also touched a little bit on characters through discussing narrators but this week we will go into more detail about ALL the characters.
