For all writers, revision, self-editing, and rewriting are essential to develop highly polished work. Real revision is about the true definition of the word: to re-see. And it’s hard work! Come explore techniques that make the process more palatable and maybe even fun. Learn how sharp revision and self-editing can elevate writing, improve and deepen stories, and enhance writing craft. Discover how to look at your own work, see it anew, and use what you find to produce a much-improved next version.
