Truing the Narrative: A Revision Magic Trick
$65
Symmetry is nature’s intelligent design: it provides stability, swiftness, and survival. It’s the burst of a dahlia bloom, the flare of a maple leaf, the honeycomb, the butterfly, the human face. It’s our writing, too, whether we’re aware of it or not. In this class, we will look anew at our manuscripts or rough drafts. We’ll locate the symmetries that already exist and expand them, push them to their fullest potentials. We’ll find themes and ideas that are intuitively central to our stories and ask whether they’ve been examined enough. We’ll find meaningful new directions to take our drafts.
Access Program
We want our writing classes to be accessible to everyone, regardless of income and background. We understand that our tuition structure can present obstacles for some people.
