Sometimes writing is spiritual, healing, a burst of creativity. But editing can feel like work. This workshop will help you hone your craft and prepare your manuscript for publication. You can look forward to engaging discussions on the craft of fiction and how to strengthen your writing through close reading and self-editing. The majority of class time will center on the critique and analysis of your work; accordingly, every participant is expected to share a piece of their writing (up to 12 pages, double spaced) for the class to read and edit. The last class will allow each participant to share their polished work with an audience.
