National Writers' Conference & Online
On the Cutting Room Floor
The phrase “kill your darlings” can seem harsh and hasty, but knowing what to cut and when to let go is just as important as getting the words down on paper. Hear from authors on how they go about whittling down their words to the ones that matter the most, and what they do with the ones they cut.
