This workshop follows an initial session on the habit of writing—which prompts participants to write something. What’s written needs to be revised—always. Revision is an essential part of the writing process; without revision most writing never reaches its full potential. We can’t revise of course, unless we have written something to work on and work with. A draft is the first essential element of writing to be revised. In revision lies writing’s salvation. This workshop focuses exclusively on revising—on the nature of revision, on strategies for revision. Participants can except to come away with specific approaches to revision from macro to micro—from conceptual revision to structural revision to stylistic revision: revising for idea, for organization, for stylistic elegance and grace—and more.
