All writing is rewriting, or so they say. 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, examining structure, honing your voice, practicing sentence craft, and much more. Bring any type of work in progress, whether a novel, memoir, creative nonfiction, or story collection. In separate one-on-one conferences, each participant will develop an individual revision plan.
