The recording of my webinar on editing horror is now available for purchase at Club Ed at the following link:
Editing Horror with James Gallagher
This one-hour webinar is for people interested in learning how to edit the horror genre.
The class covers the following:
- What is horror?
- Brief history of the genre
- Subgenres
- Horror beats and tropes
- Character: protagonist v. the monster
- Setting
- Controlling theme: from life to death to damnation
- The unknown
- Reader immersion
- Editorial concerns for problematic tropes
I am a lifelong horror fan, and this webinar was a blast to prepare and present. Even better, I was able to do it over at Club Ed Freelancers, run by the great editor and editorial trainer Jennifer Lawler.
I’ve taken numerous classes with Jennifer, and she and Club Ed have been an important part of my development as an editor.
Long live horror!
