Make It New: Generative Revision

Trying to find your way through a draft can feel like being lost in the woods. You’re sure you left yourself a trail of breadcrumbs to follow, but now everything feels like a tangle of undergrowth, and the dense canopy of words is blocking all the light. In this multi-genre workshop, we play with old drafts to make a new path through the forest. Fair warning: This might involve a controlled burn. It might mean clearing away some growth to give something glorious more room to grow. Come armed with your most gnarled drafts, and we’ll try to tame them – or, coax even greater wildness from them.
