We often hear writers talk about how revision is the key to writing well, but we don’t often get concrete strategies for how to do it. Yet there are indeed several non-abstract steps you can take to make your writing better through revision. In this class, we will go over 20+ strategies writers can use to revise their stories, and we will put some of these into practice on the spot. We will also use exercises and mini-workshops/discussions to get an idea how to proceed on revising a longer story. Students should bring copies of the first two pages of an unfinished story with them to class.
