Come join two or more (maybe all) of the following long-time residents and writers living in the KTM Valley: Jigs, John, Lucia and Uttam for The Power to Write & Edit Like a Pro (in just 1 day). Here, in a relaxed venue and either on a Friday or a Saturday, this team will help you become a better writer & editor, but not in months or weeks – instead, in just a few hours!
This public workshop (only held in Kathmandu, Nepal) is guaranteed to make you a better professional writer or editor – or your tea break allowance will be refunded. No, seriously, how could you go wrong spending one day with two, three or more professional writers with over a century or more of combined writing & editing experience?
This day is for any writer or editor, aspiring or expiring, who wants to brush up on or otherwise improve their writing & editing skills.
Note: All participants should bring a laptop loaded with their writing tool of choice.
Workshop Goals
In this workshop, participants will work to achieve the following:
- Meet other local professionals and “hook up” with like-minded writers and editors through a guided experience-sharing
- Discuss what makes for great storytelling

How We Deliver
The Power to Write & Edit Like a Pro (in just 1 day) is always delivered as a public workshop, where people interested in professional writing from many different walks of life can gather and learn – you can go here to sign-up up for that now, or check our schedule to see when the next workshop will run.
All of our workshops are participatory in nature, and our trainers allow time for experience sharing as well as a pre-flight expectation gathering. Our trainers are also skilled at gauging how the workshop is progressing, and can adjust both the pace and content accordingly (we leave no participant behind). This workshop can optionally include a comprehensive training report (a small fee required) that gives your management team (or your mom) a blow-by-blow accounting, all using feedback results from the plenary and observations from the trainers.
Workshop materials are all-digital in format, and provided to all registrants via this website (a special participant page is created just for you). Once your payment is made, you will have access to all downloadable resources – until the end of time, or the internet goes belly up – whichever comes first. Specifically included with this workshop are:
- Workshop slides from each presenter in PDF format
- Unlimited access to a special page on this website shortly before the workshop begins, and after as well
- Trial versions of any software used
- Professional edit on a short work of your choosing (optional, small fee applies)
- A Certificate of Training
