Take Your Manuscript Back to School: Writing is Rewriting
Writing is rewriting. But what does that mean? Regardless of whether it’s fiction, memoir, or narrative nonfiction, there are specific techniques to make the rewriting process more productive and successful.
Intentional rewriting keeps writers on track to make big improvements first and leave final polishing for the final steps. This class addresses how to fix specific issues with a series of targeted rewrites.
