The What's Next Workshop

Figure out what's next for your business and plan how to get there.

Are you at that stage in your business where you are stable and comfortable, you've got enough clients, and you're ready to make your business work better for you?

This workshop for established and mid-career editors is designed to help you do just that.

We spend five weeks together evaluating different aspects of your business, discussing your dreams, and coming up with strategies that will help you move towards those dreams. We focus on making your business serve your needs and bring you joy.

This workshop will help you come up with a concrete plan to help you move from where you are now to a the business of your dreams.

This five-week workshop is asynchronous, so you can participate whenever works for you each week.

This workshop is available exclusively on demand for groups of five to twelve participants.

The workshop is $285, or $395 with an hour one-on-one with me to talk about whatever you like.

(Oh, and there will be dinosaurs, of course 🦖🦕)

Hi, I’m Tanya 👋🏻

I’m a book editor, translator, educator, and literary omnivore. I've been in publishing for over twenty years and love this industry to bits.

I work with authors and publishers, editing and translating SFF, horror, contemporary realism, memoir, interactive fiction, and graphic novels.

I support editors and writers one on one, and teach in a bunch of places, including the Editorial Freelancers Association and Emerson College's MFA in Popular Fiction program.

It has been suggested that I read too much for my own good. This might be true.

FAQ

When will the sessions be held?

The workshop is asynchronous, which means that you can go through the course material whenever it’s convenient for you. The course sections will release weekly over five weeks.

The only things at a set time are the one-on-one sessions (which we'll schedule together).

How long will the workshop take each week?

You can expect to spend about an hour on the assignments. Discussion with other participants can take an additional half hour.

I don't know what I want to do next. Could this workshop still work for me?

It sure could! You don't have to come in with a concrete plan. We'll be spending the first week of the workshop evaluating where you are now and coming up with ways to move forward. We’ll spend subsequent weeks exploring those ideas and discussing concrete ways of making them happen.

I'm still getting my footing as an independent editor. Would this workshop be right for me?

This workshop is designed for editors who have a little more experience. If you are looking to establish yourself and are interested in working directly with authors, I recommend checking out my course Working with Indie Authors. It might be a better fit for you.

Do you need a certain number of participants for the workshop to run?

Because the workshop has a component of participant interaction, it needs at least four participants to run.

What if I want some more one-on-one time during the workshop? Can I get that?

Absolutely! If you want more dedicated one-on-one time, you can schedule a session with me. And because it's part of the workshop, you'll get a special discounted rate.
