Have a story that needs work but you don't know where to start? Nothing we write can stand on its own without some phase of revision. In this two-day short fiction intensive, students explore different methods for revision, plus come away with resources and actionable steps for how to address revision in their own work.

  • May have a short reading prior to class. May have a short writing assignment between classes.
  • Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
