Demystifying the Editing Process
$240
This class is designed to demystify the editing process with applicable tools for editing at each stage of your draft. From fiction to creative nonfiction, this workshop offers in-depth looks at different editorial tools to use to help you refine your story and your language. In this four-week workshop, we’ll review practical, applicable revision tools for each stage of the revision process. Then, we’ll practice some of those editing tools on your work in class. Homework includes expanded editing exercises, which we’ll discuss the following week.
Please bring:
● A notebook and at least 3 different colored writing utensils
● For day 1: a printed first page of something you’re working on
Each writer will be sent home with an editing checklist and editing goals for the coming weeks.
