February Panel Practices

Panel workshops for February are scheduled!

 

Loving Your Craft: The Art and Science of Proofreading & Editing

When: February 10, 18.30-21.00

Where: Oktatoterem at Astoria 

Creator and host - Panel's senior editor Rachel Velsher

This is a practical, supportive workshop designed to help writers approach editing with confidence rather than dread. Participants will explore editing as both a technical skill and a creative practice, learning how to improve clarity, structure, and correctness without losing voice or momentum. Through guided examples and short hands-on activities, the workshop breaks editing into manageable stages, making the process feel purposeful, efficient, and achievable.

Originally from Toronto, Canada, Rachel Velsher now lives in Budapest with her husband and children. She is a writer, editor, and knowledge manager. Though her spare time is limited, she uses it to explore the various cafés of Budapest, and is always willing to discuss the merits of the Oxford comma over a latté.

 

Writing About L*ve in A Second Language

When: February 25, 19.00 - 21.30

Where: Oktatoterem at Astoria

Creator and host - Panel's manager and publisher Masha Kamenetskaya

This is a one-day writing workshop about what happens to our voice when we write in a language and a place that are not our own. Rather than seeing non-native writing as a difficulty, we will treat it as a source of sensitivity, and creative power. The workshop consists of writing practice, discussions, and exploring the phenomenon of writing and loving in a second language.

The creator and moderator of the workshop – Masha Kamenetskaya, a publisher of Panel Literature Association and a writer. Her short stories in English have featured various publications. The collection of short stories On The Set inspired by Budapest was published by Duck Lake Books (USA) in 2020.
She works in two (and a half) languages and has gained quite an expertise in the key topic of the workshop.
