Revision Master Class

So: you’ve got a piece of writing that you love, but you know it needs some work. It’s got all the potential to be a great piece, but no matter your efforts you can’t figure out how to revise it. Every time you go back in, you spend hours fixating on a period or a comma and not making any real changes. You put the story away and start a new one. Same thing: great potential, uneasiness, tinkering, stalling. Wash, rinse, repeat. 
In this one-day revision workshop, students will learn to break out of this vicious cycle by gaining tips and tricks for revision. Most writers (even professional ones) face blocks when it comes time to revise, and together we will learn some tried and true methods that actually work. 
In our one-day session, we’ll get into the nitty-gritty of trusted revision techniques, and students will learn how to apply those methods to their own work. This class is ideal for those writers who are great at starting stories but not finishing them, or for those to whom “revision” is a scary word. Together, we’ll learn that revision doesn’t have to be terrifying—that in fact, revision is where some of the best work happens.

Creative Coaching

Meeting in person or over the phone, we will work together to discuss the genesis of your project, look at where you are now, and examine any fears and unknowns. Then, we will investigate and explore what comes next, breaking down the steps required to get you from where you are to where you want to be.

I have coached a wide array of people on myriad projects, from fiction and poetry manuscripts to art pieces to business endeavors to podcasts. My strength lies in my ability to listen, to give tools, and to share encouragement and perspective in order to help you realize your vision. Each session lasts about an hour and includes resources for moving forward, as well as creative assignments tailored to you and your work.

I look forward to connecting with you! Let’s talk about where you are and where you might go.
