Three-session workshop with tools for revision, from theme and intention to structure, pacing, and polished dialogue, voice, and word choice. Best for those with a draft; useful for all revisers.
The first session, The Big Picture, focuses on helping writers identify why they wrote their work and what they want readers to take away from it. This clarified intention becomes the guiding principle for the entire revision process. Activities include developing concise “elevator pitches” for the work and identifying the ideal reader or target audience.
Instructor - Suzanne Morgan Williams is the author of the middle grade novel Bull Rider (Margaret K. McElderry Books), the YA novel Sierra Blue, and eleven nonfiction books for children, with more titles forthcoming. Since publishing her first book, Made in China: Ideas and Inventions from Ancient China (Pacific View Press), her writing career has taken her into classrooms to connect with students, to universities and museums to collaborate with experts, and into communities to share stories and experiences.
