Editing Techniques: How to Cut and Prune Your Writing
About this event
According to novelist Nancy Thayer, “It’s never too late...in life or in fiction...to revise.”
Given honest and constructive feedback, students will learn to “cut and prune” their stories as they organize a kaleidoscope of random recollections. The art of memoir writing and supportive ways to deliver and receive constructive criticism will be discussed. Each participant will bring a completed story to class. The group will respond to the story, discussing memorable “hot spots” as well as places that could be stronger,
funnier, or more “real.” No prior writing experience is required, just a desire to strengthen the impact of your writing.
