The Chattanooga Writers Guild will host an Editors Panel at the Chattanooga Downtown Library on May 8 at 7 p.m.
Editors and publishers will provide an informative session on the editing process. They will speak about their publications, and the audience may ask them questions about the craft of writing, the type of writing they select for publication, and the writing process.
Featured panelists include:
