Great writing is all about revision

Revision is an art. It’s a part of the craft that amounts to 90% of the entire writing process.

But how can we approach revision in a way that’s creative, fun, and fills us with confidence as we edit our way towards (hopeful) perfection?

If you’re ever wondered how to revise that first draft, or wanted to learn advanced techniques for making a piece of writing publication ready, this class it for you.

In this class, you’ll learn various approaches for revising your written work.

Course takeaways:

  • Exercises for refining your prose at the line level

  • Techniques for making structural edits to your work

  • Learn different approaches for tackling writing projects both large and small
