Revision from the Inside-Out with Arya Samuelson

Everyone can agree that revision is necessary for helping a story or book become the strongest version of itself, but how do we accomplish that? How do we see our work with fresh eyes again and again? How do we find the deeper story – the story beneath the story, longing to be revealed?

In this one-day workshop, we’ll breathe new life into your work using transformative revision practices that will help you realize the fullest, most potent expression of your work. Participants will bring in up to 5 pages of writing and together, we'll explore how to unearth the deeper story, receiving supportive and insightful reflections from the group as we go along. You can expect to emerge with new ideas and fresh perspectives on your story, a restored sense of excitement, and a multitude of revision practices to become your own best editor. This class is open to all genres.
