Publisher & author Jo Wilkins reveals why editing should be your top priority before sending your manuscript to a publisher. Save yourself from rejections, a ruined reputation and an empty wallet.
A good editor will help make your manuscript suitable for presenting to a publisher by determining developmental improvements to your storyline, catching grammar and style errors, and giving your manuscript the final polish it needs before you send it to a publisher. A bad editor will cost you money, time, and your reputation as a credible author. With her experience as both a publisher and an author, Jo Wilkins will explain how an editor can make or break your chances of getting published, what publishers are looking for when reading solicited and unsolicited manuscripts, key mistakes that authors make when trying to do the editing themselves, and where to start in finding a good editor.
Free admission and open to the public, with first-time authors and those seeking publication especially encouraged to attend. Seating is first-come, first-served and may be limited. For more information, please call 702.507.3458.

Originally opening in 1966 as a three-room library within the Airport Annex building, the Clark County Library moved in 1967 to a storefront. In 1971, the library moved again to its current location using deeded land from the County and with money awarded by the Max C. Fleishman Foundation. The building went on to have two remodels: one completed in 1986, and the second completed in 1994, which resulted in the three-story, 120,000-square-foot building it is today. This redesign notably included a 399-seat theater and an 80-seat black box theater/dance studio. The Library District also added the Best Buy Teen Tech Center, which provides a place for teens to explore and master new technologies and digital skills.
