Revision/Editing Groups
What you try to do with revision
Sessions are limited to six participants. All genres: fiction, poetry, memoir, nonfiction. Bring your work to read, discuss, and revise. We will begin each session with a writing exercise and revision suggestions. The purpose of this group is to have our work be all that we want it to be. To learn what works and what doesn’t work in writing. Think of your first draft as a flood. A river filled with every possible thing - put it all in and see what washes up on the banks. Your first draft often is overflowing with images - tennis shoes, your Grandmother’s cookies, the time you fell in the lake. Your job as a writer is to make the connections, take out what doesn’t fit.
The
first draft is usually slow murder
Cost $200/Summer Session $150. To sign up, call 831-477-4375 or email Amber.
