Once you’ve done the work of drafting, how do you move from a first draft to a second, then from a second to a third? In this class we’ll talk about taking a critical eye to our own long projects. We’ll look at strategies for making revision less daunting, discuss structural logistics, and try different revision techniques with the goal of finding the right path for each project. Writers will come away with a concrete plan for revision, and practical tips for its implementation.
