How to Make Your Writing Better:
A Brass-Tacks Guide to Revision

1-3pm ET, September 14
Online

What do you do with pages of promising prose that still feels ... off? When you sit down to revise, what do you actually, literally do? We'll get into it. In this class on how to find your way to "best words, best order," expect an array of specific and substantive ideas for self-editing. Whether you're a longtime writer looking for new ways to give your work a jolt, or you're newly feeling your way through the writing process, this session is for you. Revision is a radical practice. It invites us to see not only our words but ourselves with bracing clarity; to embrace the tumultuousness of change; and to be brave enough to tell the truth. It can even be fun. Let's go forth.

Workshop Highlights:

• How to catch your unconscious writing tics

• "Small" changes that make a huge impact

• How to summon a spirit of creative play when you're staring down the same pages for months, or years
