About This Course
For writers who have completed a draft of their novel, or have found themselves mired in the vast middle, uncertain of direction, this advanced workshop focuses on techniques in revision applied specifically to your manuscript. You’ll approach the art of the rewrite by seeing your work through the eyes of dedicated readers – your workshop peers – and then by studying techniques of revision that can help you re-imagine your story with greater clarity and force. You leave the course having thoroughly revised at least one problem section of your novel, with a clear plan for continued revision.
