Get tips on writing, at lunch with editor Steve Padilla, Aug. 2

Re-energize how you view writing — and the way you do it — with tips from nationally sought-after writing coach Steve Padilla. Padilla, who entertained standing-room-only audiences during our Pro Tips writing workshop in 2019, is editor of Column One, the L.A. Times’ showcase for storytelling.

Padilla will share his advice over lunch at the National Press Club from noon to 1:30 p.m., Friday, Aug. 2. Join us for lunch — and lots of learning — as we celebrate writing and ways to sharpen our approach to this important skill.

Register now for this in-person-only program on Friday, Aug. 2. Tickets are $25 for National Press Club members and $35 for the public. Your ticket includes a boxed lunch and drink.

Designed for professional nonfiction writers, Padilla’s talk will give you fresh ways to:

  • Craft descriptions
  • Construct anecdotes
  • Trim and squeeze your copy
