Editing Techniques: How to Cut and Prune Your Writing

About this event


According to Nancy Thayer, “It’s never too late...in life or fiction...to revise.” Given honest and constructive feedback, students will learn to “cut and prune” their writing as they organize a kaleidoscope of random recollections. Memoir writing and supportive ways to deliver and receive constructive criticism will be discussed. Each participant will bring a completed story to the class. The group will respond to the story, discussing memorable “hot spots” as well as parts that could be stronger, funnier, or more real. No prior writing experience is necessary, just the desire to strengthen the impact of your writing.

 

Instructor Caroline Janover graduated from Sarah Lawrence College and earned two Master's Degrees in Special Education. She is an award-winning author of four novels and a play written for children and young adults. In each of her books, the hero has a learning difference.
