Picking the right type of editing services to help publish your writings is a key step to ensuring successful sales. In this presentation, Heidi Thomas will touch on some of the more useful types of editing that are best for most genres. She will discuss the different types of editors for novels, memoirs, nonfiction and the sciences as well as the the pros and cons of self-editing. Heidi is an award-winning novelist after writing books based on her grandmother's life: Cowgirl Dreams, Follow the Dream, and Dare to Dream. She has also published a non-fiction book, Cowgirl Up! A History of Rodeo Women.  Heidi is a freelance editor, teaches community writing classes, and is working on the next book in her "Rescue" series.

We invite you to volunteer at Riordan Mansion State Historic Park!

The duplex-style Riordan Mansion remains one of the finest examples of American Arts and Crafts-
style architecture open to the public today. Designed by the architect of the impressive El Tovar Hotel
at the Grand Canyon, Charles Whittlesey, the homes were built in 1904 with indoor plumbing, hot
and cold running water, central heat, and electric lights, reflecting the most modern technology and
design of the time.
Seen by guided tour only, the interiors of the Riordan family homes look essentially as they did in 1904.
The homes showcase original family belongings including fine examples of early Stickley furniture.

Volunteer opportunities available include Front Desk, Interpretive Tours, Grounds and Maintenance services.

Help us preserve history, learn and share the story of Flagstaff.

Contact the Park at 928-779-4395 for more information.
