It’s true: All writing is revising. And revising. And revising. But how do we ensure we’re improving our work and becoming better writers in the process? By practicing the revision strategies in this workshop: distilling the premise, exploring voice, honing sentence craft, trying to entertain, and trusting the process (and ourselves). Participants will be asked to bring several already-written short pieces to work with (instructions to come). In one-on-one conferences, we’ll discuss specific goals and challenges.
