After the First Draft: Revising a Work in Progress

Update: This workshop is full. We are taking a waiting list. 

All writing is rewriting, or so the saying goes. This workshop presents revision strategies for taking that imperfect first draft and whipping it into a thing of beauty. Exercises focus on distilling your premise, gaining perspective, structure and organization, sentence craft, and more. Bring any type of work in progress, whether a novel, memoir, creative nonfiction, or collection. In separate one-on-one conferences, each participant will develop an individual revision plan.
